Further to my last.. The database was down yesterday (again...) But i'll speak to a rat today and find out.
No Benb it is not a crime - But I suppose both help in highlighting those in society who have a lack of regard for common sense
I will refrain from commenting on Steve's post mostly due to the fact that I wasn't there, and I can't speak to both parties to get a rounded view of what happened - Steve does however have a point which I would like to highlight now:
I myself was cycling down a hill, probably at about 20-30 mph when a short wheelbase transit pulled out about 15 meters in front of me. I was in high vis and with both lights running during the day. I had, however anticipated this clueless drivers actions, and braked enough so that I could safety slow down behind him.
Unfortunately defensive cycling is a must on the roads, as a lot of drivers are brainless !
