I couldn't see where anyone called the driver heartless. Was that your own
assessment?

I did see it said:

The woman’s death brings the number of cyclists killed on London’s roads so far
this year to 11.

You really need to be more accurate with your claims - you're not teaching the
5 year olds now you know:

Crispin said: "The truck driver was later arrested for causing death by
dangerous driving."

The report said: " the driver was arrested on suspicion of causing death by
dangerous driving."

Could you perhaps have a go at explaining the subtle difference. You can see
it I assume.

Bertie Wooster's real name is Tom Crispin.
He uses the name Bertie Wooster so that people involved with
Young Lewisham and Greenwich Cyclists and John Ball primary school
can't see what a tosser he is.

The story there is different to what you've said. The truck driver was
"sitting by the Hop and Scotch sweet shop. He was shaking like a leaf.".
Ie far from being heartless, the guy was in shock, and that would have
been why he'd not stopped his engine.

It's the usual spin we have come to expect, attempting to portray the
situation in a totally different light. Trouble is, he does it so often
people just ignore him - cry wolf syndrome.

Proof, if proof were needed, that a push bike isn't a viable form of
transport. Had she been in a car she would still be alive.

The death was cause by the lorry. Now put the lorry driver on a push bike.

Hundreds of car drivers lives would be saved every year if they caught
the bus. Its a shame they sacrifice convinience for safety.

No it wasn't. Nobody yet knows what happened.


Now put the lorry driver on a push bike.

I'm sure the gentleman has more sense than to ride a child's toy.

Nice wriggle, idiot.

She would also have been safer on a bus.

Yes of course, it could have been a lightning strike.

Now put the lorry driver on a push bike.

He wouldn't have been done with dangerous driving if he had.
