I'm siding with the yoga girl on this one, having been hit by a cyclist on the pavement before I have little sympathy for them and their generally cavalier attitude to the road.
He also had time to use his horn, shout and swerve in the direction she was returning to.
Got to love the photos these rags select.
Are we singing from the same hymn sheet here.?
Obviously if a pedestrian is on a road, then they are no 1 priority, and have right of way, but if they step off a pavement, in front of a moving vehicle, that’s travelling at a legal speed, without looking, or distracted by looking at a mob phone, or listening to headphones, then they surely take the blame, if they get hit by said vehicle?

What annoys me is when cyclists use pedestrian crossings. You're looking in the immediate vicinity of the crossing if a pedestrian is approaching and if so, of course, you stop. But you're not likely to notice a cyclist approaching at a lick so may not stop. I've no doubt the car driver would be blamed though.
An apt footnote to the name of this thread as the cyclist will have to fork out 100k court costs.

Although that ruling appears to be so unfair, Cyclists all over the UK should take note of this, and get themselves insured.
A guys life seems to be near to ruin, because some daft woman steps out while on her mobile phone and not paying due attention.. This really is a case where the laws an ass.
