and I should apologise for what?someone who is unapologetic about hospitalizing pedestrians.
But why do you continue to try to provoke another argument?
and I should apologise for what?
doing everything I can to avoid a lemming ped who steps into the path no more than 2 metres in front of a vehicle travelling at 30mph?
Obviously you didn't, or you wouldn't have hit her. You're responsible.
A 40 tonne truck had me off the road today, as he was hanging on his klaxon I doubt that this was a mistake. My trembling was a mixture of fear and rage. I had to continue otherwise I thought I may never get on a bike again. Thanks for listening.
No I'm not. The ped was responsible.
Were you there? Did you see what happened?
Is the train driver responsible when a passenger jumps off the platform in front of a moving train?
How is this different?
Edit: - you're the one who brought this up in this thread, not me
Unless your unfortunate pedestrian was attempting to commit suicide, it's entirely different. And you know it. But Crackle has pricked my conscience - I have allowed myself to become drawn in to this argument, when the thread should have been about a bit of reassurance for the OP.
Au contraire: It was you who pricked mine by pointing out what this thread should've been about, rather than the all too common specious arguments. I felt compelled to reply.
That caravan, it wasn't white was it. I think I've met it.
Perhaps she was? She certainly behaved no differently from someone who was, except perhaps she wasn't looking and didn't time her departure from the pavement deliberately - it was just an unhappy effect of her timing. There was absolutely nothing I could've done, more than I did, to avoid her.Unless your unfortunate pedestrian was attempting to commit suicide, it's entirely different.

It wasn't me. Priscilla is green and blue and towed by trike....
Got any evidence of this?
