Interesting how pivotal the pre-meditated aspect of brklss appears to be. This suggests that if he'd been on a perfectly maintained "normal" bike but still hit the victim through incompetent riding he'd have been charged with a less serious crime.

Yes, they're trying to establish a principle that brakeless is prima facie reckless
