How many pedestrians *on the pavement* are hit by motorists every

And how many of those motorists are not on the footway because they have lost
control of the vehicle (for whatever reason)?


Are you implying that an out-of-control motorist on the footway poses
less of a danger than a cyclist there on purpose, or that being
out-of-control on a footway is somehow an acceptable if you are a
motorist?


As you very well know he meant that most cyclists who are on the
pavement intend to be there & are not there by accident.
