Ahh, but what if the cyclist was actually a motorist riding a bike and the pedestrian was a cyclist out walking? |

Why don't you put these rhetorical questions to Doug who, in his own estimation, is the World expert in these matters? |

Cyclists do't kill pedestrians
On Wed, 22 Sep 2010 12:24:25 -0700 (PDT) someone who may be Marie
wrote this:- Or do they? Cyclists don't kill pedestrians very often. A troll would turn that into claims that they never kill pedestrians, in order to attack the straw man. Nice try, but your post was boringly predictable. Anyway, the article doesn't say that the cyclist killed the pedestrian. It may well be that the pedestrian died in hospital two days later from injuries caused in the crash, but that is not the only possibility. Hospitals are dangerous places. Neither does the story tell us how the pedestrian came to be on the road where he was struck. If someone "steps out unexpectedly" in front of a motorist then the trolls here are sympathetic towards the motorist, but in the same circumstances express no sympathy towards a cyclist. It is an example of their attitudes. TRL549. Meanwhile another pavement motorist http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1314227/Drink-driving-nurse-sentenced-years-killing-grandmother-seriously-injuring-grandchildren.html -- David Hansen, Edinburgh I will *always* explain revoked encryption keys, unless RIP prevents me http://www.opsi.gov.uk/acts/acts2000...#pt3-pb3-l1g54 |
