Pathetic.
* It's the POSSIBILITY of a life sentence, not in all cases.
* As the replies note, in almost all cases the other road user is a DRIVER or motorcyclist. How often do they get (a) charged
(b) anything more than a - generally short - ban if proved guilty?
* Cyclists
1./
At long last we have a law for dangerous cyclists and e-bikes. Those who cycle or ride e-bikes recklessly causing fatal accidents to pedestrians or road users can now feel the full force of the law. Matt Briggs and others who have campaigned for justice should be congratulated for their perseverance.

A truly great Judge RIP

It is with sadness that we learnt today of the death of our colleague, Lord Clarke of Stone-cum-Ebony. Lord Clarke was a Justice of the UKSC from its opening in 2009 until 2017. He was an excellent colleague & the kindest of men. Our thoughts are with his family at this sad time.

Yet again, I had to stop cycling due to a loose dog in the middle of the road. I told the owner she was selfish, she got mad. I don't know why it's so hard to ensure your dog isn't in the middle of the cycle path.

IME out of control dogs in places, even roads, shared by cyclists is an increasing problem. A family member suffered significant injury in this way - just received 5 fig compensation from dog owner. That should be some kind of lesson. Yours a responsible dog lover and owner.

FYI - this guy is a total asshole. Please let him know if you see him. He was walking 2 dogs on Kelvin path and one ran at my 9 year old on her bike and knocked her off. He didn't care then screamed fuck you at her when I asked if he could please control his dogs.

A reminder that if you use your vehicle as a weapon, it can have serious consequences. This motorist was rightly sent to prison for 18m and when he comes out, the insurer will be pursuing him for the substantial sum paid in compensation to the victim.

On this day in 1896, Bridget Driscoll was walking in Crystal Palace Park, London, with her family, when she became the first pedestrian to be killed by a car.
At the inquest into her death, the coroner said he hoped such a tragedy "would never happen again..."
