Not a Daily Mail reader but this caught my attention. Looks truly horrific:

    Authorities told Mexican media that Campos admitted to using cocaine prior to the accident.

    Awful - a tragic thing to happen - and look at the comments made on their notice board ? Ridiculous.

    Just had a peek. The Mail is truely read by morons.

    It would've been a different story if it had plowed into some pensioners or Tories.

    The comment from the moron in Barrow in Furness is beyond belief, what an absolute, complete and total thoroughbred t**ser :evil:

    This was a quite sickening incident and, unfortunately, such things are all too frequent :evil:

    On one of the other (non-cycling) forums I frequent, discussion of this event has turned into a massive argument, with one person in particular defending the driver against the cyclists, complete with diagrams! :shock:

    What is it about cyclists that attracts so much ire? Well, apart from some of the twats on here of course, which I totally understand :D Still, wouldn't like to see my worst enemy smashed to pieces like this. Absolutely horrific, and some of the attitudes it has revealed are nothing short of terrifying.

    Had a similar discussion on an email list of a former football team I used to play for following the road rage incident in Australia a month or so ago. The attitudes of some are truly shocking - yet call them bigots and suggest 30 years ago they'd have been taking their prejudices out on blacks and they get all offended.
    it's a hard life if you don't weaken.
