Sent to prison for RLJ and injuring girl

[swee'pea99]

Sadly the chap did not hand himself in and only held his hands up when a Police man knocked on his door but at least it was sorted and I hope he has learned to notice that a pair of Niterider front lamps are not easily missed.To be honest I think he may have been drunk from the night before to have missed those babies !

Admittedly it's in the Mail, but...

Honestly there have been a few times while cycing when pelican crossings have turned to red and have me scrambling to hit the brakes and slow down in time. They dont give you much time to stop, ive been through one on red when it was wet, I just couldnt stop, I shouted "sorry" as I went through.
(Please no one take this as me defending him, im not)

No amber phase first?

Of course amber first, how long does that last? 3 seconds? How long does it take to stop on a road bike at 30mph in the wet?

Just saying sometimes im ploughing along and then im like " ow poop" screeeeeccch.....

Pedestrians waiting at a crossing is a good indicator that the lights are very likely to change soon. Be prepared!

Back to the OP if the guy had stopped and helped the girl I wonder what his sentence would have been in those circumstances ?

Driving offences can and do carry significant penalties so they don't need to try and use person to person laws in these cases.

You're missing the point.
