Disgraceful sentencing. There are no excuses for not seeing the cyclist. A completely straight road before sunset in late May, the cyclist had lights and forensic evidence suggests that they were on at the time.
It's a road I cycle along often http://goo.gl/maps/hqAWS, it's inconceivable that an attentive driver would just drive into the back of a cyclist at 60mph along there.
I more may on the occasion ride with either one light or none
this guy is a firefighter with kids riding in the road above? he would ride without lights if they were necessary
For instance, if the weather on the day of the crash had been good, there may have been enough light at the time that the sun was setting on May 24th 2012 (20:59)
"The 30-year-old lock worker said he had his car lights on at the time of the crash (variously reported as 8:59pm to 9:15pm) but said that Mr Wilkins did not have lights on his bike."
