If it was a car this definitely would not have happened, no-one has ever crashed into a parked car!
-
Those bike hangers are well known around these parts for pranking drivers by jumping out in front of them.
-
Seems pretty obvious it's there. Not quite sure how you'd drive into it
-
Driver injures child colliding with a stationary object, so obviously we blame the object.
-
Driver’s fault, slammed straight into a large immobile object, so would’ve needed to be going too fast or not paying attention or both.
The neighbours complain about nearby low traffic schemes bringing more cars to their street, making it more dangerous. The tremendous irony of their acceptance that having more cars on a road is more dangerous…
Perhaps bike lockers should have reflectors or other night time aids.
-
they were not paying any attention or going much faster than they should have.
A terrifyingly large percentage of all drivers all the time

wow.
I hit the same kind of car with a forklift very recently. At the front too.
The damage was cosmetic (some sensors on his dash but afaik it was only paint), he was going very fast there.Sorry for the triple post

Seems so odd to me that the blame is being shifted to the cycle hanger. This is a pretty wide road with a 20mph speed limit. And the cycle hanger is in a parking spot. I don’t know how someone could drive square into it unless they were not paying any attention or going much faster than they should have.
