Non-cycling crashes that deserve attention

You know what I mean--I was referring to the nature of his past offending, which was terrible, but everyone deserves another chance after serving a sentence. So far, there has been no suggestion that he had turned to crime again. Perhaps that will change, perhaps it won't.

Whether or not he 'failed to stop'--we still don't know much about what happened. The inquest hasn't taken place yet, so any speculation is futile at this stage. The bare description may not capture what happened. At any rate, whatever happened clearly happened mere moments before his death and was part of the cause of it, so I certainly won't undertake any rumination on whether that was 're-offending'.

I've posted quite a lot about police chases. The figure I remember from way back is that 1% of road traffic fatalities were then caused by the emergency services, although I don't know if that's still accurate; there have been a lot of high-profile deaths in and from police chases in recent years.

From what I've seen, I generally consider the risk posed to the public, and in this instance, the rider, by attempts to stop fast-moving drivers and riders in London, unacceptable. I'm sure there are exceptions.

I do hope some more information comes out in the inquest that can help us understand what happened here.
