Another case where a helmet would have helped.
I thought seat belts had made them a thing of the past?
Obviously not.

A helmet for the cyclist that wasn't there anyway?

No - one of *these* would have helped the poor car occupant that
banged his bonce in the accident as reported.

Indeed.

"Four fire engines were sent to the scene and firefighters spent 50
minutes freeing the driver of the Peugeot.

Fire crews reported the man who was trapped had suffered a possible
dislocated shoulder and injuries to his knees and arms.

Two other men in the car were from Hull and aged 35 and 59. One
suffered *head* and chest injuries."

I must admit - you really are getting sadder by the day.

Are you homesick now? Not content with reading newsgroups - you also have to
read the local paper online.

If I had wanted to take the **** and show how daft and sad you were - I could
not have done better myself.

Simple really.
