Really? Whatever you think the cyclist might have done to mitigate the situation, the fault lies squarely with the driver.Looking at it the rider is more at fault than the driver.
I don't care what he thinks, unless it's thinking twice about pulling out without checking it's clear.Unfortunately the driver's probably now hating all cyclists as a result.
How do you work that out? The driver pulled out from a side road without having properly checked it was clear.Looking at it the rider is more at fault than the driver. Unfortunately the driver's probably now hating all cyclists as a result.
+1What a twit cyclist. You could see from a long way back the hazard that the car was moving out of the junction, so should have cycled accordingly. But no. he had to make a point. Throwing his bike on the ground.![]()
I stated "more than"; the driver is at fault, yes. But so is the rider; they're moving at speed on the outside of traffic, saw the car moving and yet didn't anticipate. Then threw their bike down in protest like a spoilt child.How do you work that out? The driver pulled out from a side road without having properly checked it was clear..
I agree they could have avoided it, but to state the cyclist was more at fault than the driver, when it is 100% the responsibility of someone entering a road from a side road to check that it is clear before they do so?I stated "more than"; the driver is at fault, yes.
