Killer driver bailed.

Another unfortunate 'accident' no doubt. These dratted cyclists just
keep on getting in the way don't they. Hang on though, the article
calls it a 'crash'. Now there's a thing!

"A car driver has been arrested after a cyclist died and another was
injured in a crash on a main road in Devon.

The two cyclists were involved in a collision with a Peugeot 106 car
at about 0840 BST on the A30 at Tedburn St Mary, near Exeter.

The driver of the car, a 22-year-old woman from Okehampton, was
arrested and bailed by police until 7 December.

Both cyclists are believed to be visitors to the area. The eastbound
carriageway has now been reopened."

Jumped to conclusions again, I see, despite very little information. I
assume you'll be informing this group what happens as it does, and whether
or not the driver is charged/prosecuted/convicted or not.

OK, I know that the roads are open to cyclists, but why ride on the A30 when
there's a nice quiet road (presumably the old A30) running more-or-less
alongside at that point? For myself, I see no point exposing myself to
unnecessary danger, and will pick a back road to cycle on in preference to a
dual carriageway any day.

As you seem to be unable to keep up with the news I will certainly
try.

So you admit that drivers pose a serious danger to cyclists on public
roads? Why do you think it should be allowed to continue?

Perhaps cyclists should be excluded from that streach of road if there
is an easy alternative route.
The would contribute to safety of all road users.
You are in favour of safety aren't you Doug?

So you want cyclists banned from the road for their own safety do you Doug?

UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!! They were on a ride for Charity...............


A CYCLIST from Derby who died in a crash in Devon yesterday has been named.

Simon Evans, 38, was cycling along the A30 at Tedburn St Mary, near
Exeter, when he collided with a car at about 8.40am.

A second cyclist who was also hurt in the crash is being treated for
cuts and bruises in hospital.

It is believed both men had been taking part in a charity cycle ride.

The driver of the car, a 22-year-old woman from Okehampton, was arrested.

She was later released on police bail.

Well it looks like things are being done correctly, unless you were
there & could give us a witness statement.

Do keep us updated (facts only)

Not at the expense of liberty and it is much better to reduce the
source of danger than to keep on avoiding it.

dual carriageway any day.

The cyclists were apparently not from the area, so I suspect that the
lack of any signposting of the alternative route could well be a
contributing factor.
Trying to follow routes in unfamiliar areas without ending up on major
roads can be extremely frustrating and difficult, particularly as many
of the "old roads" are cut by the dual carriageways that replace them
- and there's no way of knowing from the signs if that has been done
in any particular case.

Never had any problem doing that. I use a map.
