I'm sure there's a wider debate to be had about the general climate at the moment, but in the tradition of 'Rider down', let's keep this thread to the actual incident.

Prob biggest thing from this for me is- get a lawyer involved ASAP!
Because he didn't counter claim, this has left him with the full burden of costs which otherwise would have been capped/reduced.
Still think 50:50 apportioning of blame is incorrect in this case.

I just started this in the other thread as it seems a mix of poor judgement from the Judge in the case but mostly poor reporting from the media, surely this will only bring more anger and danger to cyclists in London?
I have been involved in a couple of crashes in the 7 years of riding in London. Nothing serious but i have always felt that if it came to it then the fact i am a cautious rider that obeys the laws would make any incident ok, common sense would prevail. This case makes me thinks differently and makes me concerned that riding in London really does make you more at risk from all angles now.
