Driver on drugs who mowed down group of cyclists while on wrongside of road is jailed - LONG

I quoted the information I have. If you know better, tell us. Please make your view clear. Does this help? Ay quoted de information ay 'uv. If ye nah scutty, tell us. Are you claiming, I am reporting not claiming. Look these two words up to see if you can find a difference. ... I asked whether an Act containing a prohibition on something means that it wasn't already prohibited (TMS320 seemed to be under that impression). (Though as we know, it is almost impossible to be convicted of dangerous driving.) It SHOULD be impossible, or very nearly impossible, to be convicted of an offence one has not committed. You're making the mistake in thinking that certain acts of driving aren't dangerous until agreed by a jury. The courts *are* the ultimate arbiters as to fact. Not police officers and certainly not passing cyclists scooting along footways and through red traffic lights. All court does is to decide whether Her Majesty gives the driver a smacked botty. So you "think" that passing cyclists (or perhaps even keyboard warrior cyclists such as yourself) should be able to decide on whether drivers have committed an offence. Even you would support that as a general principle, I expect. I doubt that even you dare to put pavement cycling in the same category. Particularly as any argument falls flat in light of the many places where the mix of cyclist and pedestrian is allowed. Where did that come from? What does it have to do with the rolling review, amendment and consolidation of statute law? Pavement cycling has been mentioned by you in this thread. But not within this topic. If you were to read your posts back you would notice how the matter frequently and randomly pops up. Irrelevant. Do you wish to try to state that cycling along pedestrian footways (which you call "pavement cycling") is lawful? To remind you, the topic had moved into intention of law and issues of safety. On the topic of law and safety, do you wish to try to state that cycling along pedestrian footways (which you call "pavement cycling") is lawful? |

After the council has been along with the Magic White Paint most motorists think it is compulsory. Not this one. Stay off the "pavement", correctly known, for good reason, as the footway. It's for pedestrians. |

No-one has commented below on that bit. Well, no-one important. Once again you fail to grasp the simple concept that traffic lights were only introduced to manage motor traffic flow on roads paid for by cyclists. Do traffic lights not apply to cyclists? A simple "Yes" or "No" will suffice. Have you stopped beating your wife? |
