I await Mr C's comments with interest.

How many cyclists were involved?

Up to three. Some of the emergency services attending the scene may
also have been cyclists.

Why do you ask?

Just trying to discover why it was put on a bicycle group and not marked OT.

You missed that bit out, for some reason.

And your point is...?

The *reason* for the collision.

I know you'd rather believe it was an attempt at murder.

Where did anyone claim it was deliberate?

Why do you ask that?

Why do you write "I know you'd rather believe it was an attempt at murder."?

And your reason for posting this on a cycling NG?

Other than the usual diversionary tactics, of course.

For comparison and proportion.

I myself have mentioned bulls and indeed china shops here. They were relevant.
Even you are not OT here, Dec. We need to regularly be reminded of the mentality of some motorists.

Old fart, shouldn't have been allowed to keep his license - prosecute
his GP for failing to notify DVLA? Yes, I'm just guessing and making
outlandish suggestions.
Did this http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bristol-22621623 get
mentioned here already? I don't recall seeing it, but not much gets
past my killfile.
