Here is yet another “accident” involving a cyclist. As stated before, most accidents are not accidents. They are events contrived by the rules and design of the road. These days, even more euphemistically, “accidents” are called “collisions”. Note that this one took place, as most do, at traffic lights, on a carriageway with vertical kerbs making it impossible for cyclists to escape. What’s the potential for corporate manslaughter charges against traffic authorities who manufacture danger and pursue unequal priority as a basis for road-user relationships? That would speed up the change they are finally talking about which is so scandalouly overdue.
