xting at the time of this accident as I've seen this so many times along this road in the mornings, I occasionally see the police speed trap van along here but perhaps they should have spot checks on drivers as well.

It was clearly an accident - these things happen! No driver goes out thinking 'how many bikes can i get today' nor do cyclists go out thinking 'how many car bonnets can I hit!'
However if it had been a male driver then I'm sure he'd have been shaving, texting, talking etc.

Lets just all agree it was the cyclists fault as usual, wish the drivers car a speedy recovery, and get on with the more important posts
