@mysteryman113@Trutherbotchief Not really.. This ploy has worked lots of times in court. Also 'the sun was in my eyes'/coughing fit/boiled sweet incident/wasp/itchy knee excuse works. Almost anything works. Look at sentencing outcomes.
The difference here was that there was no court case - not yet anyway.
@neilorpen @LlamaLout @JeremyVineOn5@Guto_Harri@FamilyLawGuruUK@theJeremyVine It's not odd that there are hundreds of reports, considering car drivers are so utterly lawless.. I didn't read every one. I'm only interested when they kill cyclists or pedestrians. I stopped reading them in 2021, when I bought a new bike and joined a group which runs cameras.
@cristo_radio@jonburkeUK @JoRigby_Balham @edwardlamb@joncstone We don't know that - because the parents have been denied a court case where they could have examined the medical evidence.
You surely know this...
@neilorpen @LlamaLout @JeremyVineOn5@Guto_Harri@FamilyLawGuruUK@theJeremyVine I have been following cobbled together reasons drivers give for killing people with their car for 40 years..
'Seizures' ranks head and shoulders WAY above the Sun being in the sky, wasps, spiders, boiled sweet incidents and not even bothering to think of an excuse...
@CHAIRRDRF@London_Cycling@TfL How do you suggest TfL deals with Colin Smith in Bromley?
Transport cllr said there would be no cycle lanes, 20mph zones, bollards, LTNs or planters. They also boast having the cheapest parking in London.
No driver has ever even been arrested for killing a cyclist in Bromley.
@ediz1975@carltonreid@raymasseytweets Gods sake it's as if you're not a cyclist Ediz.. I mean seriously... Stop flogging a dead horse! It's beyond parody now.
@TheMrLoophole No driver who has ever killed, paralysed or horrendously disfigured cyclists in my borough has ever even been arrested. What do you think should be done about that?
@HuwGrif28963959 @gazza_d A freak accident is something that is unlikely ever to happen again. The fact is there are hundreds of doorings every year, often resulting in severe injury and occasionally death.
The woman who killed a cyclist in this way near me got off scot free.
