i see these incidents as the karmic downside of all the fun i get to have in the city, red lights jumped balanced against cabbies trying to squash you, peds jumping out versus the perfect carve of a corner - its just a shame when someone is badly hurt doing something as mundane as crossing a road.
to some extent wayne old boy i'd certainly hold my hand up and say i take advantage of other peoples caution on a daily basis when the adrenalin is pumping - this just wasnt one of those times........
just pisses me off, i guess, that i couldnt stop in time. comes down to pride.
