Abdelyekini Olafusi was found guilty of careless driving after he ran down the woman in Clerkenwell. Olafusi clipped the back of the 41-year-old cyclist’s wheel when he turned right at traffic lights on Gray's Inn Road on May 27. The cyclist, an Italian woman, fell off her bike to the ground but Olafusi did not stop and continued to drive over her. http://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime...-a3519751.html If he'd clipped a car, there would have been a small dent and some paintwork required. Bicycles are for paths, not roads. Reality check! He *didn't* clip a car and the cyclist was *legally allowed* to be on the road. Try sticking to the facts rather than your personal desires. He clipped a bicycle which is inherently unstable, therefore unsuitable to mix with larger vehicles. Funny that I've been cycling on roads for about 60 years with no problems whatsoever as have millions of other cyclists. |
