Default The danger of headphones, cannabis and riding a bike.

He pressed the brakes on his bicycle, causing him to fall over the
handlebars and onto the road, and Nunnink drove over him.

Taylor was taken to Christchurch Hospital, but died in the intensive
care unit a short time later.

"It is the obligation of all road users, including cyclists, to ensure
that they concentrate fully on their responsibilities as road users."

Taylor had been listening to loud music through headphones at the time
of the crash, which could have distracted him.

"Cyclists ought to ensure that all their senses, including hearing, are
available to them in order to avoid the potential of collisions. If a
cyclist is listening to music through headphones they may not be able to
react quickly and appropriately to approaching vehicles,"

Doesn't Keller live in New Zealand?

Perhaps all New Zealand psycholists are daft.

Total ****wit New Zealanders -- believing that a mandatory helmet law
will prevent all bicyclists from getting head injuries.

Thank you very much kind mistress for your grrreat accolade!
Now if I may please have the further honour of being Stupid collapsed to
a singularity where even the stupons have collapsed into stuponium, and
stupid so dense that no intelligence can escape.

PS I agree with you that having a mandatory helmet law is totally utterly
unfathomably indescribably daft. That sums up New Zealanders exactly.
