It didn't actually start that way. It has evolved so in
response to your pigheadedness.

BTW, I have corrected your 2 typos rather than take the ****.

If she wasn't turning across his path, how could the outcome be a
T-bone?


The sailent point here is he reacted as though he thought it would be
a t-bone.


And what made him think of that possibility? Car turning
across his path, perhaps

Consistency really isn't your thing, is it?


He is consistently ****witted, if that counts.


Brian, please come up with something original, I'm fed up with the
variations on the word ****wit. Oh! Sorry I forgot you can't, it would
involve thinking.


OK then, here's something original.

A mate of mine is a really **** driver. She's so **** she caused a
cyclist to crash into her. But it wasn't her fault. Oh no. It was
the cyclist's fault.

Oh, wait, that's not original, NM has already posted it slaps
forehead

Putting your latest bluster to one side:
She turned across oncoming traffic, didn't look properly before making
her turn, and now she (and you) are making up pathetic excuse after
pathetic excuse.
I was going to counter this until I got to the abuse towards the end,
Mr Firth please vent your bile on someone else, your posts are abusive
and unwelcome, your inferiority complex is showing yet again.
Except he has a point. The cyclist has a choice that has to be made in a
split second as the car turns into his path. Going straight is a leap of
faith that the driver will notice them and stop. or swerving to go
behind the vehicle. The driver has given him a choice to make in a split
second but he has no way to know which one will avoid the collision.


He had no way to be certain of avoiding the collision due to the actions
of the driver. That he got unlucky is not his fault in any way.

Yes it was, he was riding too fast for the situation and was not in
proper control.


All the evidence presented does not support your assertion.


If you lose control you're going too fast. Simple really.


So you would prefer cyclists to keep riding directly into the side of
an illegally turning car, just to prove they are still in control?

I suppose at least you're consistently stupid.


I didn't say that, it's an extrapolation with your choice of spin
included. Feel better now?

You're ****ing making it up as you go along. The many
changes, worming and slow development of detail are, as you
say, "all there".


The witness is not credible, your honour.


You mean I'm not providing the answers you want don't you.


Er,no. I mean that your story is all over the place, but
with the one consistent thread that the motorist's actions
caused the cyclist to believe that she would pull into his path.

You have also consistently sought to blame the cyclist, a
view that nobody else has supported.


Except those who have agreed that there must be some blame apportioned
to the cyclist.
If you loose control then you are not using it properly therefore you
must share some blame.

Whose cat would that be? Yours I hope.


You really are an ignoramus.


Because I don't agree with you? Right.

Vivid imagination, slow speed fender bender equates to '****ing bitch'
with no knowledge on your part as to the personality of the driver.
maybe if she is a '****ing bitch' as you claim then she probably
hasn't got a consience so won't be bothered about a dead cyclist or
two.


Seeking to blame the cyclist for her own poor driving? The
cap does seem to fit rather well. As does your hypothesis
about her lack of conscience.


Well you see it your way and I'll see it mine.

Inexcuseable. behaviour of mod moron mentality more like it. BTW I'm
diagnosed dislexic from years ago, what's your excuse? I suppose you
like poking fun at cripples as well.
