• Your making the same assumption as the Guardian that everyone driver on every jury is in some sort of conspiracy to protect their own guilt, even though they aren't being prosecuted and there isn't any reason anyone would do this. I think it is fucking ridiculous premise.

  • It's not a conspiracy, it's just such a normalised bit of behaviour (to drive badly, not pay decent attention to the road) that most people seem to think a momentary lapse of judgement is acceptable. Even when that "moment" is 20 or 30 seconds of not paying any fucking attention.

  • It is so normalised, that when a person managed to cause a fatality on a bicycle, they get a harsher sentence due to the rarity of the incident.
