Cyclist runs over child and rides off
An 18-month-old toddler is covered in blood after being dragged face first for
3ft along pavement by hit-and-run cyclist The 18-month-old boy was said to have been caught under the bicycle and pulled for three feet in front of his horrified parents, who say the female cyclist showed no remorse before pedalling off. I thought pedestrians had priority over cyclists on pavements. Looking forward to the cyclist being caught and prosecuted. http://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/8216...ail/story.html |

The path was a *shared* path though. So she was riding legally, but obviously not with any care for other users.

Not really legally - she seems to think pedestrians aren't allowed on the cycling part of a shared use path when it's marked as such, but this is not the case. I'm slightly surprised that the law regarding injury caused by a traffic collision doesn't apply to pedal cycles, only to "mechanically propelled vehicles" (a.k.a. "motor vehicles"). Clearly she still might be liable to a civil claim for damages. At the very least she should come forward to apologise. |

I agree, providing they keep out of motorist's way. And they should pay to use it like everybody else does. We could call it 'Road Tax' or something. Why we pander to the demands of a sponging minority I'll never know. You think we shouldn't provide footways? Pedestrians aren't a minority and they aren't 'vehicles'. Of course, f pedestrians were like cyclists they would claim that the VAT on shoes pays for pavements. -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk |
