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.

Driver injures child colliding with a stationary object, so obviously we blame the object.

I think it’s probably cause they expected to see a car, but not a grey U shape object with green paint on the roof.

Looking at the photo of a clear day, no car parked make it look like drivers can just drive close to the kerb while speeding up.
