I'm not saying cyclists are more or less competent road users than motorists.
I'm saying the principle of presumed liability runs counter to natural justice.
Fair point FPR, but have you ever heard a car say "ouch"..? Not excusing dickhead drivers (and I come across enough male drivers like that, being a female!!), fact is, cyclists needs to be more careful, they do have the most to lose should it all go horribly wrong.
Not really. If you're a small child and are struck on a crossing by a racer doing twenty-five mph your chances aren't great, are they? Oh, and I also disagree about every cyclist having a near-miss from a reckless motorist every day. Unless I'm blissfully unaware, or outrageously lucky,.. :)
The Highway Code also says I should keep to he left unless overtaking or turning right. I'm happy to leave a cyclist as much road space as a car but if he doesn't have any lights how do I know the idiot is there ?
Then MPS should be aware. Have you contacted Harringay SNT about this? Only this morning a similarly intellectually-challenged racer hurtled past me as I had stopped to let a lady cross at the belisha beacon crossing on Liverpool Road, junction with Madras Place, uttering loudly as he went "oh for f--- sake".. Your example, like mine, entailed reckless cycling and public order offences all in one go. Certainly a matter for the boys in blue..
Whilst there they can probably also stop that last car that always squeezes through on red after the lights change.
