Another deliberate hit and run ramming of a cyclist by an impatientmotorist during London Critical Mass June ride.
A frequent occurrence, as reported by email. Such motorists just don't
care about cyclists at all. "I was witness to the an incident at the junction of Devonshire Street and Portland Place at approximately 19:41 or 19:42. A driver decided to try and plough his way through, and hit a cyclist, and bent the cyclists wheel beyond use and then sped off. Car reg was **** *** (I think). It was grey. I called the police this morning on 101, to report it and I'd be willing to be a witness if the cyclist wants to take it further. I know quite a few people saw it. I didn't see the driver, but if anyone did, that would be even better. The cyclist should also make note of any CCTV that runs down Devonshire Street." -- .

Surely this was just a motorist's peaceful protest as one of the 99% who are. Why should he be hunted and persecuted in this way? |

This is a fairly major junction controlled by traffic lights.
If the driver jumped the lights then s/he is bang to rights*. OTOH if the lights were green for the driver then s/he was merely exercising his right of way. Another road user ignoring the lights would be at fault in an accident. Of course "Critical Mass" is a protest where the protesters think the lights should always be green for them and red for everyone else and it would seem deliberately ignore them. So whose fault was this accident - if it was an accident? * if the car driver claimed that s/he was taking direct action against cyclists would that make it OK Doug? "Doug" wrote in message ...
