A cyclist facing bankruptcy after being ordered to pay a woman who
stepped in front of him while using her phone has thanked the public
who donated more than £45,000 to help him. The fundraising drive has
raised more than double its initial target of £21,300 to meet the
estimated legal costs of Robert Hazeldean. Mr Hazeldean - who is
also facing a £100,000 court bill - said he would be 'forever
thankful' to the more than 3,000 people who donated to the gofundme
appeal. A hearing to decide the final court costs will take place at
a later date and crowdfunders say that anything left from the end
total will be donated to ActionAid. Mr Hazeldean had sponsored a
child through the charity for 13 years, but recently had to stop
because of the financial pressures around his case.

It's good news that the victim will get her compensation and that her
legal fees will be covered.


Indeed.
But we are told that responsible cyclists are of course insured.
