Default Yet another old lady mown down by a pavement cyclist

"Pat Harris was left bruised and dazed and needing hospital treatment after
a cyclist rode into her while she was on the path.

The 62-year-old was left with a badly fractured wrist and had to have an
operation to have a metal plate inserted in her right arm.

Mrs Locke said she reported the incident to the police but was told that
without CCTV footage or details of the cyclist, except that he was in his
20s, there was little hope of tracing him.

The cyclist was oblivious to anyone else's safety. "

"...little hope of tracing him".

Surely, as a decent member of society, mortified and tormented by the
horrific injuries he has inflicted on that poor woman and in contrition for
his misdeeds, he'll probably hand himself in?

Then as well as taking whatever minor admonishment the law prescribes in even
such terrible cicumstances as those described, he will also wish to
compensate his victim financially? After all, he will also undoubtedly be
Considerably Richer Than she is.

All he had tp do was to report it to his insurance company & let them
deal with the incident.

"Horrific injuries" is a badly fractured wrist?
Wonder what adjectives JNugent would use for someone in IC?
Nothing - he would have run out of hyperboles long before then.

An elderly woman was left bruised and dazed and needing hospital treatment, in
a lot of pain, with a broken wrist

Now I would say that was very bad and quite shocking - or as we say "horrific".


Good to see that the holiday has really grabbed your attention - I hope that
you are not neglecting Mrs Mason.

Does she lend you her mobile just so that you can keep in contact with us?

Simple and Sad.

Simple Simon Mason - who cycles at 25mph in 20mph limits just because the limits do not apply to cyclists.
This includes exceeding the speed limit past three schools. A total disregard for the well-being of vulnerable road users.
The actions of a true psycholist.

Either that or the insurance that he has got by being a member of a
cycling club, or perhaps as a responsible road user he has taken out
his own insurance.

Hold the front page, everyone.

According to Mason's Gospel, a badly fractured wrist so damaged that it has
to be reassembled with a metal plate inserted into the right arm is not the
slightest bit horrific *at all*.

Simon Mason's clearly no cissy when it comes to pain and injury and he
pooh-poohs any suggestion that a 62 year-old woman will be the slightest bit
inconvenienced by such a trifling mishap.

"Ee, lad, it were nobbut stuff and nonsense and fuss about nowt", said Mason
(47), who comes from (near) 'Ull, where they are clearly made of stern stuff.

However, he added, if it transpires that the cyclist has received the
slightest bruise or scratch from the encounter, all bets are off and he
reserves his position on public execution for the harridan who had dared to
obstruct the free passage of the obviously-innocent cyclist who was enjoying
himself and doing no more than cycling at speed along the pavement.

Or of course he may not have any insurance at all.

It is of course quite optional if you are a cyclist.

Judith, you are a very silly person.
We have been told that cyclists can afford insurance, as they earn
more than others, also we have been told that as cyclists are more
intelligent than everybody else they would realise the need for
insurance, cyclist also have much more concern for their fellows so
they would not want anybody else to suffer a loss because of their
actions.
