Hypothetical law change? Lorry on bike: lorry's fault. Bike on ped: bike's fault

Astonishing--was this added post-publication (and consequently didn't appear in the paper on the day), or did it appear on the day? If the former, why didn't they check factual accuracy in the first place, and if the latter, why did they publish it?

Because that's what sections of the wonderful British press do - publish a load of shite about some individual or section of society that they are prejudiced against (eg cyclists) then print a little retraction on page 23 two weeks later. Especially the Daily Mail.
