Or, you could leave the personal attacks, and debate what I said, if you don't agree with it.
I'm not blaming the cyclist (or anyone) in this case, as we don't know the full facts, I'm just saying that being right in the eyes of the law really doesn't help me when I'm splatted across the road, hence it's good to assume other road users won't always stick to the law.
For example, what if the driver had had a heart attack and was unable to control the vehicle. Or what if it had a Toyota style braking failure? There are many situation where a driver might do something unexpected, but it's not their fault either.
Are you saying that you always stick to your right of way, and I'm a numpty for not doing so? In that case I'd rather be a numpty.
