Pillory is still legal! And I think the stocks are in Scotland, but not England/Wales/Northern Ireland.

I noticed in the news the different way the helicopter crash was dealt with:
Why can't some of that responsibility be taken by drivers (and cyclists).
This states that where material loss or damage is caused to any person or property on land, by an aircraft while in flight, the owners of that aircraft are strictly liable.
In essence, the Act directs that the aircraft owner shall be treated as having caused the crash and the victims are automatically entitled to compensation without having to prove anything
Quoted from the BBC news story on it this week.

What would you do if you leant your bike to someone & they caused an accident?

Well I would know who I lent it to! The point I was making that the aircraft industry seem to take some responsibility for themselves, why can't others.

With the aircraft industry though they're not really looking out/after you. Its more a case of protecting their own reputations & in the event of an accident looking to place the blame onto something/someone else.
Recalls are fairly common within the automotive industry as manufacturers seek to protect their reputations first.
I have been cycling on paths quite a bit since being knocked off on a roundabout . Most of the paths have adjacent cycle paths that seem to disappear from one side of the road to the other . Dont see a problem with it if you are visable & mindful of others on the paths . Its been a good way to get some confidence back after the accident .:-)
