Hipster causes murder on a bike

[BrilloPad]

Should be like Germany then. If you cross the road without due care and attention then you are primarily at fault and the driver or rider can sue (personal liability insurance is quite big here). You might have noticed that Germans don't cross the road unless the little man is green because, basically its against the law and not only could you get fined but if you cause an accident then you're at fault

Oh I love it! Germany is such a fantastic country. I love it and the people. When I had a shrink I found a German one and immediately picked him - I have many Germanic traits and we got on very well.

How did Germany lose the war? Quite incredible really.

I agree with all that. Especially about cyclists behaving like morons. And when they get hit they should take part of the blame.

Same applies for pedestrians though. Chap I work with had big injuries due to pedestrians jumping in front of him in Shepherds bush. They ran off. They should be equally identifiable.

Shepherds Bush should have it's own set of rules as the 'pedestrians' can't be trusted to walk along the pavement properly let alone cross the road sensibly.

Its the same in the city. Which includes Old Street where hipster bell end knocked phone-woman down...

Some of the blame lies with the pedestrian who crossed the road looking at her phone.

Unfortunately anyone that goes near any city will tell you they have been infested with slow walking phone zombies for a very long time. In Bath the twat-head students will even blindly walk onto zebra crossings nose down not even bothering to look in either direction. But I cannot mow them down. I'm just not allowed to do that. So I drive in the City with the expectation that I might need to account for one of these dicks walking under my car at any point. Is it fair that I have to drive even slower than normal to compensate for a whole generation that can't cross the road? I don't really know.

But on a blame scale: Being a bit engrossed on your phone VS buying a bike that was just about road legal then taking the ******* brakes off it and riding beyond your own ability to stop in the environment...

Well lets just say:

If there was a pie chart to display that compared the two parties blame, The phone ladies blame pie would be less than the width of a flea tulip at its widest point. The rest would go on that complete and UTTER CHUNT. Further more the lack of remorse shown from day one just makes me think its time to re-introduce the stocks.

If you think it's bad now, wait until driverless cars are ubiquitous. The Green Cross Code will be as obscure and distant a memory for pedestrians as the Twelve Tables of Numa Pompilius

Mind you, if phones are integrated into the automated driver network then the driverless car might be able to deliver a deafening HONK into the phone toting jay walker twat's ear, and disconnect their call.

Yup, and it's a shame the prosecution barrister didn't notice and enquire about the "bleeding skull" tattoo behind the bell end's ear. That might have swayed the jury to be more severe in their verdict.

Charlie Alliston is given zero sentence due to pedestrian being so stupid.

Her husband launches campaign to stop people using mobiles and moving.

HTH

Um, he got 18 months in a YOI.

I hope he has seen the film "scum".

Oh great he's gonna come out a bigger criminal than when he went in.

I wonder if he has form of doing similar stupid things?

I know the CPS can take a softly softly approach until someone is over 18 then throws the book at them.

Oh lots of cyclists unhappy. However they are ignoring the fact he is an arrogant tulip. If he cried, said sorry and didn't put up stupid social media posts he would have got half that.

He complained: “It’s not my fault people either think they are invincible or have zero respect for cyclists.”

still moaning about the way he's been treated when an innocent mother is dead. What a ****!

He'll be picking up the soap bar for quite a few months.
