Veronika, James,
Good to hear the outcome from court. We at London Cycling Campaign and RoadPeace have been pushing the police to monitor how many injury crashes end up in court and what the outcome is. Most injury crashes never result in a prosecution. They did some research and found out that no one really knew the totals so they have agreed to publish annual reports. Towards the end of this year they will put out a summary for 2010. So many cases, like yours, take so long to get through the system it takes time to see what is happening.
It is great that the judge has written up the details. Anyone who rides a bike knows what a total failure that traffic system is. We will ask the Mayor's office to get a copy of the report to the Cycle Safety Working Group.
