It's the principle of vehicle user should be prepared to stop/avoid collision if driving to conditions, that never ever gets applied to car drivers except in extreme circumstances...

Is that true though?

I thought getting compo from an accident involving a driver was pretty easy.

This is incredibly judgemental, but as soon as I read "air horn", I sided with her. Genuinely have you ever seen/heard anyone with an air horn on their bike who didn't ride like a massively aggro cunt?

Also from 15mph through a crossing in busy traffic with peds crossing through the stationary cars?

There's plenty of instances of car drivers literally getting away with murder.

As I said to Manson7am, if you look at the Alliston case the logic is you have time to shout/blow an air horn, you have time to stop/avoid. So yeah, saying you blew your ridiculous air horn doesn't mitigate that...

Absolutely agree with that. But that is applying criminal sanctions to driving behavior, usually before a jury.

This is a civil claim, right?

Although I just read the Standard's coverage in the link above and the Judge said he wasn't riding like a cunt... kinda on the fence now.
