I do not understand how an accident involving a car clipping a cyclist on the other side of the road can be anything but driving without due care and attention. The other convictions would surely follow or not exist at all without the first crime?
These attitudes towards cycling are the problem, no one will protect you out there or after an accident but yourself, and even then - cycling at 18mph on your side of your road you can still face a 3-tonne death cage. Its just exasperating, if not terrifying.
