@HighwayCodeGB Not sure about these jeans - they’ll get caught in the chain

@LondonBicyler @miles505050 He has made it abundantly clear that he is not undertaking a safety campaign

@ClareMcgtom I’ve got two Claire. A Maserati and a Nissan Leaf. You?

@Hebetronic @ETAservicesltd 6 months for taking a life - remorseful and hard-working” https://t.co/kmjKrRl1Vu

@Popeyejohn1960 @GlasgowSEPolice @PolScotArmed Or decides to overtake when unsafe to do so. One of the closest passes I’ve ever had involved a Police Scotland car - I had high viz, 3 rear lights, spoke lights, front lights so he couldn’t have missed me but still went for it anyway

[Steve Morris @stephenmorris66]

@Popeyejohn1960 @GlasgowSEPolice @PolScotArmed All the lights and high viz counts for nothing if a driver isn’t looking out for you

@Ezy_Ryder @SeanCycles @ETAservicesltd @Jesse_Norman Interesting her defence seems to be highlighting distraction, her “lack of experience” and her passenger’s injuries as some sort of mitigation. Makes no comment on the poor man she killed

[ETA Services Ltd @ETAservicesltd]

Just what does a motorist need to do to warrant a charge of death by dangerous driving?
Seemingly not killing someone while grossly distracted because they're busy sending texts

@gazza_d Maybe they create a special magnetic exclusion field around the bike into which a car cannot physically enter

@V8staffie @WeAreCyclingUK @HammerToe @roadcc @WMPRHRT @theJeremyVine @jonsnowC4 @Paultuohy @carltonreid @CHAIRRDRF Heard of the first, haven’t heard of the other two.

@TheArduinoGuy @WeAreCyclingUK @roadcc @WMPRHRT @theJeremyVine @jonsnowC4 @Paultuohy @carltonreid @CHAIRRDRF What’s the issue?

[Steve Morris @stephenmorris66]

@kh4l1d23 @6mileO @TfLTPH Probably vandalised by a passing cyclist

[Steve Morris @stephenmorris66]

“Defence solicitor Gareth Walters said: “There are two factors here: the [passenger’s] injuries and Miss Lewis’ inexperience.”
No mention of the poor driver she killed

[Steve Morris @stephenmorris66]

Just careless, not dangerous. Teen driver on wrong side of road killed man in head-on crash https://t.co/Pl1OnJbQ9p

[Steve Morris @stephenmorris66]

So folks. Crashing your car and killing another road user because you’re on your phone only amounts to careless driving. BBC News - Brecon text death crash motorist cleared of dangerous driving https://t.co/snFk90XJ0I

@willcocks_tony @Rahario @MetCycleCops @MPSRTPC Were the pedestrians on their mobile phones or was it the cyclists?
Struggling to find reports of the latter which given the way the media report anything involving a cyclist is puzzling me

@stuarthelmer @havanah1988 Like banging your head off a brick wall with this one
