Person down Oval 29/06/09

I'd rather have the benefit of doubt than doing a witch hunt the moment she said those comment on the first of July 2009, everyone sympathies at the time because we do not know of the driver's previous conviction and ban.

Now that we know more about it, it's plain obvious she's acting on her best's interested instead of the cyclist.

Let me quote something that GA2G said that remind us that there are some good driver who feel remorsed for what happened;

Can I just say, that years ago in Kilburn High Road, an articulated lorry driver ran over an old lady, who crossed in the street, instead of at the pedestrian crossing (not even 30 yards away). The old lady was in a bad way, and the lorry's wheels had removed her leg from knee down. I was first on the scene, and provided first aid, while talking to Emergency Services on the mobile.

After the medics and police turned up, I went to see the driver. He hadn't moved. He was in total shock, as white as a sheet, and couldn't even move his legs. His only words were, "I've just driven all the way back from Norway, and I was almost home." I got him a cup of tea with 6 sugars.

Police deduced his speed to be less than 20 mph.

That driver took it very badly. He was nearly in tears. The lady survived, even though she was already in her 70s-80s.

Julie, thank you very much for posting, and I hope your partner will be okay.
