The depressing real reason police have stopped cracking down onaggressive morons on bikes

"Last week was normal. I was almost sent spinning by a cyclist hurtling
through a zebra crossing while I was half-way across.
Also normal was the volley of profanity from the cyclist as he swerved
past — as were the looks of helpless sympathy from a couple of other
pedestrians."

My apologies.

Interesting how cyclists want plenty of space when others overtake them,
yet do not accord others the same consideration, even on a pedestrian
crossing, where merely passing the markers while a pedestrian is on the
crossing makes their very presence illegal.

No I realise what you were trying to imply, however the need for
clearance under normal traffic conditions is not the same as the need
for observation of the law regarding stopping, is it?

Law is an irrelevance in the comparison.

No, the 'miss' by the self driving car was perfectly OK legally, the
miss by the cyclist of a pedestrian legally using a designated crossing
was outside the law, the cyclist should not have been there.
