    It’s an accident because the prosecution failed to convict.

    Was your view not that 12 people decided that?

    No but it seems your opinion is it was an accident. Is that right?
    completely unavoidable?


    There's a reason the police don't call incidents accidents - very few incidents indeed are completely unpreventable.

    The car turns across the road, the lights catch the reflective panels, that's fairly obvious?

    If the trousers were "light reflective" as described and well designed such as the link below, they will catch the light from all angles

    How can the lights catch a reflective strip on the back of some trousers is the cyclist is ringing towards a light source?

    Because they still and always have called them incidents. Your confusing accidents which are now collisions, however the road traffic act still refers to accidents.

    Or the 12 were the people who see a driver getting a ban/community service for their 2nd killing as justice served.

    Which IMO demonstrates a core issue.
    there but the grace of god it could be me.
    Jump on any online article with comments and see the hate/bias and ill informed on cyclists.
    Now pick 12 at random and decide the worth of a cyclists life vs a drivers freedom/'right' to drive.


    Right to as I said.

    Not true, they have nothing to do with sentencing.

    Do you understand how a crown court works?

    A jury doesn't sentence.
