It's not always the ped's fault

twice I went to central drinks... last time i almost hit a fat woman... and this time.. i almost kill a tourist...so no more oxford street for me...

I always like to cut through the nice squares of mayfair, through Soho or whatever. Or straight down Mortimer / Wigmore Street then past the Universities. Much nicer routes

some one did take his camera....

got a phone call from the police...he cracked his cheek bone...dislocated jaw...lost 2 teeth...

i on the other hand had 2 hair line fracture and wife made me take the tube this morning:(

Any action being taken against you/him?

One week ago I had to go round a woman who walked out between two parked cars on a side street. She did not look either way, she did not even look up, she was texting on her phone and had already had a broken leg. I wasn't surprised.

Where are your hairline fractures?

If he is actually a tourist his holiday's turned into a nightmare.

Poor blighter. Let's face it we've all stepped off the kerb without looking at one time or another. I worked a summer on a Greek island when I was a yoot and people were getting iced by teetering into the main beach road as holiday makers' coaches came thundering past.

My laywer said that it is not worth me sueing him as he was a tourist...

hairline fracture on the wrist.. but one of them might be old... but christ it hurts

he was taking a photo of something on the road... with his back facing the traffic!!!

I had exactly the same thing! Some cock walking backwards into Ludgate Hill whilst taking pictures of St. Pauls! I cycled about 1mm away from him and screamed into his ear. He dropped his camera but escaped unscathed. Looking back on it now I should have mowed him straight down

late into this discussion but what the hey. Like peoples have said, when a ped sets foot on the road they have the right of way. However, I remember from my driving lessons there's a rule that even if you have the right of way you shouldn't be causing any other 'road user' to slow down, stop or swerve.

whatamidoing: I hope the police believed you and the tourist doesn't try to claim or anything. Good thing you didn't get more badly hurt.

so the jist of this thread. hippy rode into an old lady, blaming another roadie. nimbhus just runs over old lady or nuns. lpg is so slow he can't run over a ped. mikec is crzy on a bike and doesn't know how to fix them.

i bet you're secretly gutted you can't wave your st george flag and march up barking high street with your chest out, tattoo of a bulldog and racist dog next to you.

Larry David had a racist dog.

peds should be shot.
