Yes, exactly that, rather than presumed innocent you are presumed at fault.
Does your brain and ability to think not extend to being able to process the word consequence, ie could be as simple as being liable for the cost of repairs to the bike? No just go for the self facepalm route. Does...
However this is the perfect anecdote for why it works. When the responsibility is on the driver, regardless of the complete idiotic behaviour of the vulnerable road user, the result is exactly what your wife did - extra caution.
Your wife behaved in that way because she is a sensible...
The more pertinent question is do I think our roads are safe - unfortunately not. The reason for that isn't cyclists or pedestrians. I would advocate wholeheartedly that kids do bikeability but I wouldn't make it mandatory or requiring a license to cycle, which it would effectively be.
Biggest...
No, I don't see a correlation linking a bicycle to a car in that the two things both need mandatory testing of some kind to operate one. If that is truly bizarre and making it up, welcome to the crazy farm.
The streets of Amsterdam and Copenhagen are awash with injuries from cyclists. It's a nightmare for them.
They're all so healthy too, air is a bit cleaner, traffic moves a lot better. If only they had the foresight to conclude the threat to life between a car and cyclist is of equal billing...
The only reason roads aren't safe is because of motor vehicles.
We should be doing everything in our power to promote alternate means of transport. We're not going to achieve a significant increase in cycling if our attitude is 'take a mandatory test because cycling on the road is really...
I go with my 12 year old and the preference is either South or North but in the rows closer to the pitch. We went further back in the North and he didn't like it as much. We're in N1C row G Saturday which will likely be mostly sitting, but enough going on to be joining in etc.
Do we need a 'who has a crush on the Albion manager?' thread!?
We can put Mrs Super Steve Earle down as a yes. :)
Perhaps we need an adaption of the Steve Sidwell song for Roberto?
The harness and lead for the dog were found on the bench with the phone. Dog owners don't need to take the harness off to let the dog off lead, just unclip the lead. I think it's a key bit of info. as to why they've ruled out 3rd party involvement.
I'd urge you to give TFC another listen. Still resonates with me today, the betrayal of politicians, the legacy of conflict. So full of emotion, feeling and anger. I really love it.
Meddle is amazing.
Have to say though, that The Final Cut is an absolutely brilliant album. Recorded in pretty much a hostile atmosphere with the band on the verge of collapse, Water's completely nails the futility, political stupidity, horror and aftermath of war. Got a bad press because of...
What planet are we on where this pond life can intentionally look to hurt a policeman in a car and be disqualified at the same time and only get 4 years?
Our judiciary relationship between cars and sentencing is just mind numbingly bad. It basically is a license to act like a c**t as long as...
Lou Reed stated it wasn't, he said it was far simpler, it really was genuinely about spending the day in the park with a beautiful girl drinking sangria then going home.
