The court must have had a cyclist in it.
Dumbass was at the back and still plowed
into the shambles head down sprinting for
29th out of 30.

Now if there was justice this asshole would have to at least
pay costs:

Like a helmet would save anyone hit by a car doing 100mph
in a 55mph zone.

I'd swear that I saw something where he dropped his suit last week, or
the judge threw it out.

The Judge dismissed it if I remember correctly from an item in "The
Scotsman"

I would think that the claimant did have some small cause of action
but the judge obviously, and in full possession of the ins and outs of
the matter, thought otherwise, or he could have applied the doctrine of
"contributory negligence"

But another factor to consider is that the claimant's insurance
company, presuming for the moment that he had one, may have insisted
on him bringing the action to which it would be subrogated, hoping to
recover at least of its payout.

--

Contributory negligence, for anyone who doesn't grok it, is where the
judge feels both parties were negligent to a greater or lesser degree,
let's say plaintif/claimant 30 per cent and respondent/defendant 70
percent, where damages would be awarded of only 70 percent of the
amount claimed.

We hope that happened. The fact that the man sues for damage to his car
is confirmation of his stupidity. 100mph through intersections with
yield signs is criminally negligent.
