Not a euphemism, run someone over and kill or seriously harm them the fine will often be less than the cost of the bike they are riding.

In response to Clockwise and andyp's comments,,,,,Hey come on guys, as a PTS driver and cyclist I spend about 25% of my driving day stopping lorries turning stupidly into cyclist paths, receiving abuse from their drivers wearing the sticker "if you can't see my mirror's I'll fucking turn anyway"...so lay off with your euphemism crap. Obviously I mean this in the nicest possible way and as my mum would say "be cool without being a fool".......Have fun out there
