Increasingly, it seems to be the view of some people that a car is the most important bit of protective 'gear' that you can use, and if you don't use it, by walking or cycling (or heaven forbid, riding a bike with your child on board), you're dangerously irresponsible.

I hope for all our sakes that Churchill lose, and the court of appeal seeks to set a precedent that not using PPE which is neither mandated by law or the Highway Code should not be considered as contributory negligence.
