Cyclist hit by driver turning into no-entry road “should be prosecuted”,
says Mr Loophole – but Jeremy Vine claims motorists who believe cyclist was
at fault “should have their driving licence rescinded”

allegedly attempting a U-turn to avoid traffic – has sparked a fierce
debate on social media

A cursory examination of the video suggests the cyclist had the car in his
view for close to two seconds before the collision. Although he goes into
freewheel shortly before the crash, there is no obvious attempt to e.g.
brake or swerve. One wonders if he had seen the car at all.

As a motorcyclist, had I been riding that stretch of road at the time, I
certainly wouldn’t have followed the cyclist’s approach to dealing with
such a situation.

Road.cc (written by semi-literates for semi-literate chav-cyclists) says:

pulling into a road, Campbell Road, that’s no entry for cars or
motorcycles – it’s exit only, and there’s no access apart from *for*
*residents*.
ENDQUOTE

How do any of the uneducated staff members at that rag know that the
driver wasn't a resident?

Perhaps road.cc doesn’t want mere facts to get in the way of the obligatory
anti-driver rant?
