Having grown up less than 15 miles from there, I’ve been round that ring round 100s of times. It’s a 30 but most cars race to at least 40 between the lights.
I wouldn’t feel comfortable cycling that road if at all avoidable.
Totally agree with the charge and outcome of the case. The lack of remorse is astonishing.
What a dreadful crash. This is the site:

It's quite clear from StreetView that this street carries very high volumes of through motor traffic, and while none of the footways are shared-use, it's understandable that riders would use them. In the face of the enormity of what happened, this is all irrelevant. Tragic.
