Clearly it was just 'A momentary lapse of concentration' and therefore not the driver's fault. Or possible the driver had a medical emergency or had to swerve to avoid an unlit cyclist.
Strange isn't it that all cyclists ride constantly on pavements yet rarely hurt anyone and motorists never intentionally drive on the pavement but these sort of things happen every day.

Also cars driving into houses seem to occur fairly regularly in the

news. Some end up embedded in the brickwork.

Sez the man who has admitted to driving at 120mph and admits to not wearing
a seatbelt.

I have driven at 140mph on the A9 in Germany.

Don't you "think" it would be better to wait and hear the facts of the case?

Or don't they matter?

I see that the car stopped at the scene, a cyclist would have scuttled
off (to make the post on topic)

Now you're making something up. I have worn a seat belt for as long

as I can remember. I didn't wear one before it was legal though.
You're mistaking me for Peter Hucker.

As for driving at 120mph when on an empty motorway section, yes I used
to do that years ago, but now the most I do is 90mph because if caught
it means an instant ban from driving if doing a 100mph or more.
I certainly have never held a phone to my ear like you were done for it.
