Well, he wasn't safe in someone else's front garden. A front garden was involved. Where motorists are concerned, it may be safer up a large tree. Although there would still be the problem of all- destroying HGVs. Possibly a cellar, but again ... ? Under the stairs or close to a stout chimney-breast may have some protective value. However, none of these will help if you are not wearing reflective clothing, lights, a helmet, some form of identifying plates, and of course insurance. |

Doug gurgled happily, sounding much like they were
saying: You're right yet again, Doug. Â*There ought to be a law against it. "The 41-year-old driver was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving" Oh! Â*There is! Unfortunately though the law, such as it is, doesn't stop motorists from killing people Nor does the law on murder stop people from killing people. Nor does the law on illegal demonstrations stop people from holding them. In fact, I can't think of a single law that's ever stopped everybody from doing whatever's been prohibited. Can you? |

Of course, no law has ever stopped people doing anything. They're not designed to do that, you see, but only to punish them if they do. But the fact is that pedestrians and cyclists can and do kill motorists. They cause several accidents every year in which motorists die. |
