Default "riding a cycle on a road without due care or attention."

“Rather than turning his head to look for on-coming traffic, he relies
on his hearing and peripheral vision."

He was not wearing a helmet. She watched as he rode straight out on to
the main road.

“He never looked at all and he cycled forward and sped up into the
junction."

the motorcyclist said he had been driving at 25 miles per hour when the
cyclist rode straight into his bike

What do you say about c*nts in cars who totally fail to see well lit and
brightly dressed cyclists when pulling out of roads or approaching
roundabouts?

It's more common than you think...
