    Someones driving career is over. No defence for something like that happening, especially when it's caught on film and someone high profile is involved.

    Did look like a bit of lucky escape, if that car had become detached at the wrong moment it would have wiped them all out.
    It's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission.

    I've bought a new bike....ouch - result
    Can I buy a new bike?...No - no result

    The more you look at that whole situation the more it has ugly tragedy written all over it. Lucky indeed.

    This isn't me talking as a cyclist, as i have not had too many experiences with bad drivers whilst cycling, there are just too many idiot drivers out there and i think the driving test should be made harder as any old idiot is allowed to drive a car, so many people dont indicate, some are all over the road, all sorts.
