Or to teach people not to allow themselves be killed or injured. Especially our precious children and grandchildren. What example do these careless phone addicted adults set?It's all part of the endless campaign to teach people to get out of the way of cars. I see it's worked on you.

Isn't keeping out of the way of cars a good idea when you are a pedestrian? You're only going to lose in an accident situation. That woman was lucky she stepped in front of a bike and not a car.It's all part of the endless campaign to teach people to get out of the way of cars. I see it's worked on you.
She is reported as disagreeing with the cyclist(her witness) over what happenned.I think main issue is the disproportionate compensation.
Also as I said before, he had more witnesses saying she was in the wrong.
Hitting a ped should be avoided ofc, but if they’re paying zero attention and step into a road that has a green light then sorry route cause of the incident is her.
I don’t mean to sound like an uncaring tool but if she had paid attention this whole issue would’ve been avoided.
In T Wells I see people run between parked buses all the time to cross the road to the train station how none of these morons has been killed is beyond me.

How much of a Cycling Expert does one need to be to understand that one shouldn't ride one's bike into a person (even an annoying person), and that if one does, one ought to answer for it? [Sorry about all the 'ones' - I sound like the farking queen]. This is a fairly depressing thread, with the majority of people swallowing a load of Dail Mail divide-and-rule propaganda. That sh*trag is biased against the pedestrian, not the cyclist, in this instance. Hence the extremely temporary BTL 'support' for the cyclist, and the 'yoga teacher' characterisation. See also 'phone zombie', 'snowflake' etc. We should stand up for pedestrians, not run them down - they are on the frontline here. This isn't an opinion on the costs, which do sound excessive. Good on @nickyboy and a few others for sticking up for streets as social space.
What about CNN, Fox and the many other outlets that used them?look - the yoga instruction is fundamental to the story. that’s why most news outlets have run with a MASSIVE picture of the lady posing in her yoga gear. so that people can understand that this wasn’t just a personal injury story, but an injury to an attractive yoga teacher which will SELL LOTS OF PAPERS!!
Jouno’s at the daily fail must have thought they’d won the jackpot when they found the pictures.
Like the Evening Standard (apparently website of the year ). There's a link on page 1 of this thread.What about CNN, Fox and the many other outlets that used them?
