Err... drivers mow down 100 pedestrians a day. Though I don't know how
many on pedestrian crossings, there are bound to be some.

How does that make the cyclists behaviour in that news story acceptable?

I didn't say it does.

Then what does it have to do with the subject under discussion?

Why did you snip the relevant part of my answer?

Why don't you answer the question?

I left the only relevant part of your "answer" completely untouched.

I've noticed he has a habit of doing that. He snipped the relevance
of your reply.


Au contraire. The only relevant part of what TMS posted (it was hardly
an "answer") was left intact.

Did you not see my original answer made directly after your post? If
you've only seen Nugent's mangled version, above, here is my reply again:-

It provides perspective and counters your "distinctly peculiar
mentality" [of cyclists].

So let me ask you. What is peculiar about a cyclist knocking someone
over that is not peculiar about a driver knocking someone over?

Almost no identified motorist who knocks over a blind pedestrian on a
pedestrian crossing escapes prosecution. On the other hand, the cyclist
in question has done.

Additionally, a cyclist has to be exceeding the normal limits of riding a
bicycle by a proportionally greater margin to cause such an accident as
described than a motorist would while driving a car.

Don't blame cyclists. It's a matter for the authorities.

bicycle by a proportionally greater margin to cause such an accident as
described than a motorist would while driving a car.

The only thing that counts is the number and severity of casualties.
Your idea is frankly stupid.

I would add recklessness as an important factor.

My friend got knocked off her feet in Central London by a cyclist. She's
never been hit by a car. It was a reckless cyclist.

No, but I wonder what the cyclist's excuse was for not seeing her.

"Dazzled by the Sun" is an old favourite used by many killer drivers.
