By the way, thanks for posting this. I wouldn't have heard of it
otherwise and it gave me that chance to contact this gentleman's wife
and suggest that they ask the police to look through the CCTV of buses
that were times to be in the area at the time. With any luck, your post
will provide the means to lose this killer motorist his mobility and his
liberty.

Well done, Clouseau. Ever thought about applying for a job as a special
agent in the Ministry of The Perfectly Bleedin' Obvious?

Which all goes to convince me even more that a camera on my crash
helmet
is an essential tool that every cyclist should have. Such
behaviour by
car drivers should lead, inevitably, to prosecution and a
substantial
ban.

A disqualification from driving for a physical assault with the
fists?

Would you extend it to all crimes, or just those alleged to have
been
committed against cyclists?

Would you, for instance, impose a "substantial ban" (from driving)
for
criminal damage committed by someone damaging a car with a
cycle-lock?
Or by hurling a bicycle onto a vehicle's bonnet?

And if not, why not?

Probably just those where a motorist has used his vehicle as a deadly
weapon in a deliberate manner.

Thank you for confirming that you would impose a "substantial ban"
(from
driving) for criminal damage committed by someone damaging a car
with a
cycle-lock or by hurling a bicycle onto a vehicle's bonnet, as long as
the criminal cyclist had a driving licence.

Of course, a disqualification would have little effect on someone
without a licence.


Plenty are handed out to people who don't have licences. And your
point is?

I was thanking you for clarifying your own point.

Have you forgotten *already*?


Forgotten what? I genuinely don't know what you are going on about.

Once again, it'll be the booze.


Well, if you can't explain your point then the debate doesn't really
serve much purpose, does it?

No. There's no point explaining something to someone who cannot and will
not understand.


No, you are quite right. I probably wouldn't.

Well, it is bleeding obvious to anyone in the know, like the police and
bus drivers. It might just slip past someone who is in shock after being
the victim of a killer motorist and, if they think about it too late,
recording gone. As for the police, they are about as much use as a
chocolate tea pot. They are really going to suggest something that
involves them actually doing some work, aren't they (not)?

Has the cyclist died since the 'crash' ?

I'm sure there's a treatment available.

See your GP.
