Blame / Claim strawman

I left this point unanswered. My apologies.

This is a public internet forum read by thousands of people. It is not beyond the realms of imagination that an idle hack from the Daily Mail might google towards his next anti-cycling story.

"Cycle Trainers call for halt to damages for cyclists

Cycle trainers are calling for damages to be withheld from injured cyclists who fail to complete cycle training courses. Condemning the blame culture that exists among cyclists who seek damages from motorists, a leading cycle-trainer (who asked not to be named) called for an end to damages for untrained cyclists. " It does cyclists no favour to have lawyers advising them take someone to court in the event of a straightforward accident. Putting the onus on cyclists to seek training will make for fewer avoidable incidents." Cycling organisations, CTC and British Cycling were unavailable for comment."

Whilst this (and subsequent edits) made me chuckle - you should go work for the Daily Mail - i think it unlikely to happen. If it appeared on a leaked memo from within a cycling organistaion, then maybe so as it'd have more credibility.
