Cyclist mows down pedestrian and clears off
A man in his 20s was walking along Devizes Road and crossing Highfield
Road when he was knocked to the floor. He suffered concussion as well as some cuts and grazes. Police say the cyclist involved had to push his bike away due to the damage caused, but didn't stay at the scene. He walked away in the direction of the city centre. Good clear picture of the cowardly cyclist. Bring on the number plates and insurance. https://www.spirefm.co.uk/news/local...ury-collision/ |

It's nonsense because leaving the scene of a traffic accident is not an offence. The law requires that someone so involved must provide details of their name and address to any person reasonably requiring it. It is sometimes stated that details of insurance must also be provided to other involved or on the scenene, but that is not the case. Only the police have a right to that information. Clearly, all of that had been done (hence the police being able to contact that driver later). This one, though, is a quite different kettle of fish. The cyclist concerned has obviously not provided his contact details, least of all to his victim or to the police. |

If pedestrians walk in to the road in front of moving vehicles without helmets they are responsible for their own injuries and should have to pay for the damage to the victim's vehicle. |

By not hanging around, the bicycle user missed the opportunity to claim compo off the pedestrian. His loss. Although it's possible he might seen recent cases which show it might be risky because the cyclist is always at fault. |

Even though you are 200 times more likely to be mown down on a pavement by a motor vehicle than a pedal cycle you have clearly made this story up because motorists never break the law. |
