Forum Rider Down and/or notification of minor incidents

How many death by dangerous driving cases have resulted in conviction where a cyclist was concerned?
Not many, and now that 'causing death by careless driving' is an option many of the 'dangerous' cases are downgraded to get a conviction or 'gulity' plea.
Tracing the legal outcomes of serious injury crashes is something Roadpeace and LCC have been pushing at TfL's Cycle Safety Working Group. The short answer is that no one has been tracing this from the crash investigation, to the police action, to the prosecution decision to the court outcome. There are 4 or 5 different organisations involved and any case can be blocked or lost at any stage. TfL have promised to improve reporting, but only for cyclists and only for fatals. They have almost finished the analysis for the 2010 cases but we don't know when this will written up and published.
At least one of the 2011 cyclist fatalities has yet to come to court.
