Driver takes out 50 cyclists

I lived in Sydney for two years, and the drivers are diabolical. I don't think I saw a car that didn't have at least a dink in it.

Sydney crash driver misses court - again

By John Stevenson, BikeRadar.com
The driver accused of causing a multiple-bike crash in Sydney, Australia has again failed to turn up to court to defend himself against charges arising from the May 8 incident, according to The Australian.
Thirty-four-year-old Hassan Bakr was due to appear on Tuesday but on Monday sent Waverley Local Court a note saying that he would not be attending and nor would his lawyer.
Bakr was initially charged with not supplying particulars, but charges were recently added of negligent driving, cutting in front of a vehicle and travelling in a transit lane.
In his note to the court, Bakr asked to enter a plea of not guilty to all charges.
He was due to face court last month, but failed to attend, claiming mechanical problems with his car prevented him from getting to Sydney from the country town of Albury, over 500km to the south-west.
On May 8 Bakr is alleged to have stopped suddenly in front of a group of about riders including top track rider Ben Kersten and Kate Nichols, a survivor of the 2005 crash that killed Australian team rider Amy Gillett. Kersten was injured in the ensuing crash.
Eyewitnesses described the driver's actions as intentional.

Nowt to hide, m'lud. Nothing at all!

I'm an Aussie & I'm heading back to Sydney for good in 2 months . I have been in London for 2 1/2 years & have noticed that there is nowhere near as much road rage here as there was in Sydney . Many people are in a hurry to get everywhere with little regard for other road users especially cyclists .
That said I have also seen City cyclists plow into pedestrians on marked crossings numerous times as well in Sydney & London

Its like a kid taking a sick note to school. WTF? Childish behaviour.

Why is he still driving? Surely they'd suspend his licence until he turns up in court to argue as to why he should be allowed to drive?
Drivers are allowed to drive only under licence, not the other way around.
