If the boy ran into the road whilst trying to flee from fireworks thrown/pointed/whatever in his direction and was hit by a passing car, it is hard to see why the driver would be arrested. The other oddity is the date of that photo. I know that the news media have to use library material, but are there MANY BMC 1100s left in that sort of condition? http://static.standard.co.uk/s3fs-public/styles/story_large/public/thumbnails/image/2015/11/11/22/jessamave.jpg |

You should drive slowly and carefully on streets where there are likely to be pedestrians, cyclists and parked cars. In some areas a 20 mph (32 km/h) maximum speed limit may be in force. Look out for vehicles emerging from junctions or driveways vehicles moving off car doors opening pedestrians children running out from between parked cars cyclists and motorcyclists' (Highway Code) And yes, I know that the Highway Code is 'not law', but .. 'A failure on the part of a person to observe a provision of The Highway Code shall not of itself render that person liable to criminal proceedings of any kind but any such failure may in any proceedings (whether civil or criminal, and including proceedings for an offence under the Traffic Acts, the [1981 c. 14.] Public Passenger Vehicles Act 1981 or sections 18 to 23 of the [1985 c. 67.] Transport Act 1985) be relied upon by any party to the proceedings as tending to establish or negative any liability which is in question in those proceeding...' (s. 38(7) Road Traffic Act 1988) I also know that as a psychopath, the notion of taking responsibility for your actions is entirely alien, but if he was arrested, perhaps the police examined his tyre markings on the road and decided that he had been going faster than the statutory limit. Perhaps a cyclist saw the psychopath texting on his phone just before he hit the child. The other oddity is the date of that photo.

Well, the presence of a car from the 1960s is conclusive, then: it's all a stich-up, no doubt orchestrated by the worldwide cyclist conspiracy to entrap an innocent 'car driver'. I daresay that the 'boy' is in fact a cunningly designed and utterly lifelike dummy, built in the year 2500 and sent back through time to entrap those poor, innocent drivers who ordinarily do everything in their power to avoid hurting anyone. -- john smith '_The Guardian_.

Nothing 'odd' about it - just another example of how the self-entitled maniacs who drive cars butcher, maim and gas tens of thousands of people every year on the roads of Britain. You just don't understand how odd it is and so suppose it not to be odd. HTH. If the boy ran into the road whilst trying to flee from fireworks thrown/pointed/whatever in his direction and was hit by a passing car, it is hard to see why the driver would be arrested. Because one is supposed to be able to stop one's vehicle safely when presented with an emergency. Within reason. Is that a concept with which you are at all familiar? 'Residential streets. You should drive slowly and carefully on streets where there are likely to be pedestrians, cyclists and parked cars. In some areas a 20 mph (32 km/h) maximum speed limit may [or may not - ed.] be in force. Look out for vehicles emerging from junctions or driveways vehicles moving off car doors opening pedestrians children running out from between parked cars cyclists and motorcyclists' (Highway Code) And yes, I know that the Highway Code is 'not law', but .. ....it is a good idea to follow it. Yes, I agree. What do the bits for pedestrians 9and for that matter, parents) say? 'A failure on the part of a person to observe a provision of The Highway Code shall not of itself render that person liable to criminal proceedings of any kind but any such failure may in any proceedings (whether civil or criminal, and including proceedings for an offence under the Traffic Acts, the [1981 c. 14.] Public Passenger Vehicles Act 1981 or sections 18 to 23 of the [1985 c. 67.] Transport Act 1985) be relied upon by any party to the proceedings as tending to establish or negative any liability which is in question in those proceeding...' (s. 38(7) Road Traffic Act 1988) I also know that as a psychopath, Don't be so hard on yourself. You're only mildly deranged compared with some - a few - on usenet. Only a few, mind. the notion of taking responsibility for your actions is entirely alien, but if he was arrested, perhaps the police examined his tyre markings on the road and decided that he had been going faster than the statutory limit. Perhaps a cyclist saw the psychopath texting on his phone just before he hit the child. Perhaps. The story, though, is not likely to have been manufactured by a sub-editor back at the Standard. There'll also have been a witness to the preceding incident with the fireworks. The other oddity is the date of that photo. I know that the news media have to use library material, but are there MANY BMC 1100s left in that sort of condition? http://static.standard.co.uk/s3fs-public/styles/story_large/public/thumbnails/image/2015/11/11/22/jessamave.jpg Right. Well, the presence of a car from the 1960s is conclusive, then: Of what? it's all a stich-up, no doubt orchestrated by the worldwide cyclist conspiracy to entrap an innocent 'car driver'. I daresay that the 'boy' is in fact a cunningly designed and utterly lifelike dummy, built in the year 2500 and sent back through time to entrap those poor, innocent drivers who ordinarily do everything in their power to avoid hurting anyone. There you go again. And it's still quite early. Take it easy; they'll be open till at least 23:00. |

On most of those, the door-runners had rusted through by about 1970. Let's face it, you don't even see many Mk III Cortinas these days. [Note for USA readers: "Trojan" was a 1950s marque of German "bubble-car". That's all it means.] |
