I'm gonna go 50/50 on this one.


Bike was going too fast and the pedestrian was lazy in just about every way.

Ok that was 100% cycle fault what a twat. Bear in mind rights of way or even if there was say a green traffic light and pedestrian was going on red does not matter here at all. Like in this example when some plonker hits an woman:

The Highway code is clear that all road rules and signals are advisory. You MUST stop and make sure if there is dangerous situation or say pedestrian in the middle of the road like in this case. Hazzard avoidance major fail here.

Pedestrian is in the wrong place, so what does that gives you wild card to run him over  :thumbdown

Instead of slowing down or even stopping the twat with the cycle has actually accelerated and pointed the bike towards the pedestrian.

Honestly I would be tempted to beat the shit out of somebody if they do that to me. What a plonker.

Rule 144  You MUST NOT

• drive dangerously
  
• drive without due care and attention
  
• drive without reasonable consideration for other road users.
