Just listening to the radio, and the advert was for no win no fee compensation for cyclist who have been knocked off by a car door opening.
Now, I don't mean to be harsh, but a car door is about a meter long. Surely they should of overtaken a little further out and therefore not really deserve compensation.
edit:
I'm pretty sure the advert is for a parked car which makes things different to through traffic, etc.
Okay, I've left what I posted, but it comes across a bit harsh. The advert annoys me. I don't really think that it's always the cyclist's fault just the advert seems to suggest that going past a parked car close is always acceptable (in my mind).
