Finally a certain mod to be prosecuted for hate crimes :)

It hates me! Hurray, the feeling is mutual.

Don't get too excited, I think you'll find it hates everyone.

Hmmm, reading the posts on here it's easy to see why some kind of education around cyclist hate crime is required.

If we were talking about other minority groups we'd all be up in arms, but in today's society it seems cyclists are still allowed to be demonised. Even if that demonisation can lead to dangerous behaviour that can, quite literally, result in the death or serious injury to another human being.

Interesting isn't it?

And yet we say .... Cyclist rather than bike

What about unicyclist, bicyclist or tricyclist? Surely they should use the correct terminology depending upon what type of cycle they ride...

We could start by teaching the difference between red and green...

Easy it's not amber!

Seems common sense to me.

Looking forward to the law change that holds that the larger vehicle is deemed to be at fault for all accidents until/unless proven otherwise.

Pedestrian < Cyclist < Horse < Motorbike < Car < Van < Lorry

Why not investigate who is guilty?

Police dashcam database helped prosecute 1,223 drivers in first year | This is Money

Motorbike riders are nicknamed organ donors for a reason!

Can dash cam evidence be used against you in court? | Biker & Bike

Now that is something those on furlough can do.

More car drivers than cyclists jump lights. But hey, who needs facts when bigotry against a minority group is involved?

For the record, I've never jumped lights on my bike. Those who do I agree are idiots and should have the same fine as car/van/lorry drivers. But, don't judge all cyclists the same ... that's where bigotry comes from mate.

Agreed. But if everyone knew that the larger vehicle is treated as in the wrong automatically, until they can prove otherwise, we will start to protect those who are most vulnerable. This includes protecting pedestrians from some idiots on bikes as much as protecting everyone from lorry drivers.

That's bigotry against pedestrians like MF. You can't have it both ways.
