This actually almost happened yesterday morning. I work with both fellas, the green car driver and the cyclist. A bit of an atmosphere at work to say the least. :rolleyes
Imagine the drivers surprise when he nearly fubar'd a work colleague, he was none to happy, the cyclist was a bit sheepish so I guess he accepts that he wasn't totally in the right.
The drawing is the irate green car drivers handiwork- he does have a green car funnily enough, a mk3 1974 Cortina. buit he wasn't in that at the time. S[size=1em]o the consensus is as far as the law goes the driver is at fault not the cyclist?[/size]
OO! OO! So you can find out if the cyclist was using 'flashing lights force field' it allows cyclust to ride how and where they like regardless of other road/footpath users

To be honest, even a reflector is better than nothing at all, which i've seen a lot recently when walking down the road.
And the culprits who don't have anything visual, tend to wear dark clothes as well, so when it's raining and your visor is full of rain droplets lit up by car headlights you don't stand a chance of seeing them.
Same applies to pedestrians who decide it would be a great idea to run across the road in front of you in bad weather, why are they always in dark clothing?
