Causing death by dangerous cycling gets approval
Should have been on the books years ago
You should read the wriggling by the cyclist groups, just like on here. What is the matter with them?, stay off the pavements, ride sensibly and don't run into people and the law won't be used, will it? http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2...rnment-support |

Love this comment on Daily Mail site "Hi there, I thought I was an intelligent life form but there is something I just can't understand. I've been examining your corner of the Earth for sometime but I just dont get it? Some Earthlings ride around in large metal boxes, these metal boxes or "cars" are big noisy things that damage the roads they run on that spew out gasses which harm the environment. There are so many of them that sometimes they all get stuck and can't go anywhere they also run into each other and kill the Earthlings inside and sometimes outside too. Some other Earthlings use small two wheeled things call "bikes" they are light and efficient and keep the Earthlings that use them fit and healthy which means they spend less time in hospital which is good for everyone. Very rarely they hurt other Earthlings but nowhere near as often as those big metal boxes. It seems to this little alien that the "bikes" are actually quite a good idea I can't understand why most of the Earthlings seem to hate them!"

You source says... "In 2009, the last year for which road death statistics have been collated, no pedestrians were killed by cyclists whereas 426 died in collisions with motor vehicles." Actually I think the new legislation is a good idea as it would apply the same 'soft' laws to cyclists as there are for motorists at present. So, instead of the cyclist being done for manslaughter, max life, he will get dangerous cycling instead, max 14 years. OTOH, motorists who kill cyclists will still be given the same 'soft' option. Also note that cyclists CAN NOT kill motorists so the whole thing is still a bit one sided. It would be much simpler if the same laws applied to road users as they do elsewhere, i.e. manslaughter, aggravated assault, where an offence under section 18 carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment, etc. Why on earth are road users singled out for special treatment when it comes to killing or injuring people? Alternatively road laws could be applied everywhere so that, for example, causing death by dangerous knifing would carry a maximum penalty of 14 years instead of life. Its long overdue time that these anomalies were sorted and the pro- motoring bias removed once and for all. -- .
