safety in numbers? Fail
"A PENSIONER was last night being treated for serious head injuries she
suffered in a collision with a motorbike. The female cyclist was taken to the Unviersity Hospital of North Staffordshire by air ambulance following the smash on the A54 in Somerford, Congleton, at 11.25am yesterday. The 73-year-old woman was in a group of cyclists which was exiting from Moss Lane on to the A54, travelling towards Congleton." So they were turning right from a side road without ascertaining that the road was clear, probably relying on force of numbers to try and coerce people into giving way to them. Give way lines and signs need to be obeyed by all classes of road user. Visibility is good in both directions. My thoughts are with the motorcyclist. http://www.thisisstaffordshire.co.uk...ail/story.html |

Would you take the same attitude in a case where a motorcyclist failed to give way at a junction, turned right and hit and injured a cyclist proceeding with priority along the main road? Just asking... |

Whatever it might be (and I make no attempt to describe it), would it be the same in the alternative scenario, or is it conditioned by the transport mode?

If Mrcheerful posted similar repetitive, coat-trailing material designed to wind up motorists or motorcyclists, I should certainly still think him a ******. Although it might take me longer to tire of it. Your ability to read minds is just awe-inspiring. There is no need for such ability. You made your position clear. OK. Do I blame the elderly woman cyclist, the group of cyclists, the middle-aged motorcyclist, the road designers, or God? I need to know what my position is. |

Do I blame the elderly woman cyclist, the group of cyclists, the middle-aged motorcyclist, the road designers, or God? I need to know what my position is. Let's make it easier. If you were reading ukrm, and if there were a story there about a motorcyclist who had failed to give way at a junction, turned right and hit and injured a cyclist proceeding with priority along the main road, would you sarcastically advise a cyclist (posting equally sarcastically) to x-post his remarks to ukrc? |

Cycling on such roads is dangerous enough for the young and fit - hardly safe for elderly people.
