So what about his much-vaunted household contents insurance?
To say nothing of his fridge-freezer policy?
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/jun/21/cyclist-crashed-into-woman-mobile-phone-pay-compensation-london QUOTE: Hazeldean [the cyclist who ran down a pedestrian] ... said he was “reeling” from a verdict that would leave him bankrupt. In a statement he said: “I am of course deeply disappointed with the outcome … and concerned by the precedent that it might set for other cyclists. ENDQUOTE But surely any court decision which reinforces and emphasises the need for caution and restraint is good for society in general? |

We are continually told that cyclists are, by definition, very rich, and that all are insured, so he should have no problem paying some compo. |

I have never said that and the law does not demand a cyclist to be insured. You should be lobbying for compulsory cyclist insurance which I would agree with. The law is who you should be targetting your gripe against. -- Bod --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus |

It's just that we have, for a long time here, been assured and reassured that cyclists are all covered by unrelated insurance policies. |

Note that Nugent is doing his usual slippery routine by using the word word 'stop'. As though stop and avoid are the same thing. |
