Cheese ..... It's all about the cheese
95%?

Sigh… Why am I bothering?
At least 95% of cyclists are bad and dangerous here. Drive down here and see for yourself.

Sarah Montague switches on her mike after a quick sip of water and a moment in which to clear her throat. Gordon, assistant producer, runs the live feed and her desk module light glows green: “…we are going over live now, to our south-west transport correspondent…Hello, Trevor. Welcome to The World At One. Now, give us your considered opinion about the moment Harry, Jane and Stella were cycling along a road and met a Land Rover, and how the whole thing turned up on a quiet cycling forum. Give us your expert opinion…”

“Aaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhhh”

“Thanks Trevor. Immigration….”

I would say it was very inconsiderate, bordering on the dangerous, however all the issues were self inflicted by the cyclists.
Hence he was prosecuted for Careless Driving. Seems reasonable, no?

What the cyclists did after the incident of Careless Driving is irrelevant - and no big deal. "Woman falls gently into ditch." BONG!

I wonder how that Landy driver would have reacted if he encountered, say, a recumbent trike. :cuppa:

If you think Northamptonshire is in the southwest, you may be the BBC's geography correspondent...

Is there no thought about prosecuting the first rider who actually caused the event which caused the rider to fall? If you take the LandRover out of the equation, the actual 'accident' was caused by

a) the front rider stopping
b) the second rider riding too close
c) having a clipped in moment

So although the pass by the LandRover was not nice & more consideration could have taken place
the event was the driving, not the fall.
The driver was prosecuted for their driving, not for causing an accident.
