I got done for riding on a pedestrianised area when I was 16. It was 6am on a Saturday and I was going to work. Just me and the copper who saw me!
In court I was fined £30. Just before me was a guy who threw a brick through a restaurant window when pissed. He got fined £25.

that it's relatively common for this kind of 'accident' to take place, as the perp knows they won't get done for (attempted) murder, just dangerous driving or whatever

which in itself appears pretty ludicrous. it's the discrepancies in sentencing that truely baffles

But come on, you're seriously not comparing throwing bricks through windows and riding your filthy bike through a desolate area, are you? You're lucky they disbanded those nazi camps in 1997
but frankly the same applies to pedestrians who see nothing wrong with walking into the road without looking and opening car and taxi doors into them. and don't get me started on white van man, minicabs or taxis.

to check that my understanding of lane discipline when approaching a roundabout was correct. It was. It's the other cunts who think I'm cutting them up who are wrong!

but you seem to seriously be suggesting that a driver or cyclist should give way to any pedestrian who chooses to step into the road at any point. That seems a bit bizarre, frankly.

that's not what I meant. Many many times, pedestrians have stepped off the curb directly in front of me (less than a metre) while I have been cycling. It's very scary and has resulted in injury to me on several occasions and once almost getting run over by a lorry while attempting to avoid them. I suppose that I struggle a little with the concept that I was in the wrong all those times.

But, may I suggest riding appropriate to the conditions and application of say, a warning bell? No potential dangers=ride fast, potential dangers (pedestrians around)=slower.
I ride a bike and it's really easy. Never had the sorts of problems you're talking about*.

it's been shown that the closer a cyclist rides to the kerb, the less room cars gives them.
btw, curb = restrain ;)

Some people like the Amsterdam System, where the grumpiest and shoutiest cyclist has the right of way.
except when you're a tourist, in which case you never have the right of way

Is there a website where can out these feckers and pour scorn and hate upon them. Errrr sorry but work in London where it's just bloody stupid now especially going through reds in-between buses, vans etc so no idea if someone is crossing. I've had countless clippings and near full on misses.
Trouble is with the Boris Bikes bloody tourists have joined in and think it's fine to cycle any where and actually seem to think riding on the pavement pushing pedestrians out of the way is the thing to do!! Something needs to be done

I do enjoy watching a cyclist being fined for jumping the lights on my walk to work.
