Injured cyclist in SW London

[CBikeLondon @CBikeLondon]

⚠️This man is a danger to others driving for @FortemSolutions @lambeth_council. Unacceptable, it's not OK we can't be on the road without abuse.

He:
- Was driving an 11-tonne tractor and trailer whilst watching videos on Snapchat
- Hit two cyclists - killing a 53-year-old mother and seriously injuring her 19-year-old son
- Was travelling at above the speed limit for his vehicle
- Would have had time to see the cyclists ahead, as they would have been in view from a distance of 210m (690 ft)

He was:
- Jailed for 8 years, 6 months
- Banned from driving for 5 years upon release

"This incident felt like a hate attack on me. I feel hate towards cyclists is getting worse. We are people too..."

Motorist avoids jail for deliberately ramming cyclist who questioned close pass and told driver he caught incident on camera

Now I know why the driver who gave me life changing injuries got away with 5 points! Police and courts are riddled with car priority poison.

[road.cc @roadcc]

Council cleared of liability after “negligent” cyclist crashed into grass verge on narrow path, breaking neck

A High Court judge ruled that the cyclist “contributed to the crash” by riding at an “excessive” 10mph and failing to “look for defects”

Dear @metpoliceuk
Just behind this driver, was a police car. I alerted them to the driver's phone use. They told me to report it online. Excuse me? I am happy to do my bit to hopefully make the roads safer if you are not around. But if you are? That's your job, not mine.

[Cycling_TW @Cycling_TW]

@michaelblackcab @SkywayTuff2s Way more! Police and courts are useless and biased.

[Cycling_TW @Cycling_TW]

@gazza_d Is there anything we could do? I'm sure we can find thousands of court cases where the sentencings have been too lenient.

[20's Plenty for Us @20splentyforus]

This is a government with no targets for reducing road deaths and casualties.
Soft on road casualties and
Soft on the cause of road casualties.
Speed of motor vehicles is the main reason why there is not time or space to avoid crashes.
#20splenty where people are.

[Cycling_TW @Cycling_TW]

@Bikery1966 Absolutely ridiculous, the police and court system is rotten to its core. Disgusting

[Cycling_TW @Cycling_TW]

@MPSSpecials Sorry drivers behaving like idiots, and police and court NOT prosecuting appropriately is the real issue. I was t-bone with severe and life changing injuries, the driver got away with 5 points. That's a joke.

[Cycling_TW @Cycling_TW]

@gazza_d The driver t-bones me and gave me 8 broken ribs, a punctured lung, a mashed shoulder needing major surgery, and messed up life got 5 points. Court is refusing to let me see the report but only citing he was given full credit for his plea?!! Honestly wtf!!!

This morning. About an hour ago.
Illegal right turn, then watch.
Unbelievable.

@thameswater @itvlondon All fun and games for you isn't it?! Leak detectors 😂

[Cycling_TW @Cycling_TW]

@JamesC0oP3R @thameswater Nothing. They will tell you that they restored min pressure in time. Even if you live on higher floors and have no water, it's not their issue.

[Cycling_TW @Cycling_TW]

@damianpadden @thameswater Obviously not... I was recovering from a major surgery and had to move to a friends because of supply interruptions last year, and Thames Water says "we didn't ask you to move so we won't cover costs" what a f joke this company is.

[Cycling_TW @Cycling_TW]

@thameswater Unreal, utter incompetence! You still haven't paid the compensation for screwing up supply in sw15 last Nov!!! and you lie through your teeth in order to avoid compensating residents. The quicker you go down and overhaul this profit greed organisation the better!

[Cycling_TW @Cycling_TW]

@Pedalperspectiv Clearly deliberate to harm the cyclist. What a moron.

[Bicycle-Riding Motorist @MrHappyCyclist]

Just reported this driver. 50cm away at 22.5 miles-per-hour. This was without doubt a deliberate punishment pass because the driver didn't like my correct road position.
