In the case of compliance with braking systems push bike's - did you know ( insert lightbulb emoji here ) "Any constable in uniform is empowered to stop a cyclist and test the cycle for compliance with these regulations, and to enter the premises where a cycle is kept if it has been involved in an accident up to 48 hours previously" ???
Thats your house they are coming knocking on systemparanoia, or should I say, crashing down the door and aksing questions later lol
So that means i can just accuse anyone of having a collision with me, and then get to enjoy watching the filth kick their back doors in?In the case of compliance with braking systems push bike's - did you know ( insert lightbulb emoji here ) "Any constable in uniform is empowered to stop a cyclist and test the cycle for compliance with these regulations, and to enter the premises where a cycle is kept if it has been involved in an accident up to 48 hours previously" ???

Im a guy that's spent his entire cycling life attempting to be convicted of 'Cycling Furiously' or 'Wanton and Furious Cycling'
so far unsuccessful... despite asking
im also a pro-bono defence solicitor in my spare time.. but i cannot advertise this as i have not completed a pupillage.. or any qualification in law
Sounds like the right idea bearing in mind the gaps in your legal knowledge.so far unsuccessful... despite asking

This guy in the articla was prosecuted under the wanton offence, which in itself is a vastly outdated and pointless piece of legislation. Cycles are under represented in the statutes, which probably won't last much longer given the recent surge of cyclists and the way cities are evolving to accomodate them.

They will probably kick your back doors in not their own, but then they would probably use their judgement of resonable force and knock first.nice, ill get the popcorn
I know because I am a pro boner special constable in my spare time ;-)

Reasonable force roughly equated to "Anything you can get away with"
Good to know about that bonus fact though, It may be useful someday!

'I won't say she deserved it, it was her fault. Yes it was her fault, but no she did not deserve it. Hopefully it is a lesson to be learned on her behalf.'
This little gem posted on a biking forum should be enough to see him hang. To leave the scene of a good collision, leave a woman on the floor and then go keyboard warrioring around trying to justify that it was all her fault for being on the phone. No words.

Can we just agree that this chap is a total bell-end?
If I were to knock someone over, regardless of fault, I would be mortified. I certainly wouldn't be playing internet hardman about it whilst someone was in A&E with head injuries.
He's going to make a great wife in prison.

Completely agree with this. If I were to knock someone over, regardless of fault, I would be mortified. I certainly wouldn't be playing internet hardman about it whilst someone was in A&E with head injuries.

I worked with a guy who had a girl run in front of his car. Completely not to blame. Police agreed so and so he asked if he could have her details at hospital, they were passed and he delivered some flowers and magazines to her. He felt so bad and the family could not have been nicer to him.
However I do believe if he had a break fitted (even if it didn’t work effectively) we wouldn’t be seeing this in the news.
So how many people on PH ride non compliant bikes? Most SPD pedals certainly don’t have amber reflectors on. And most road bikes I see take the other reflectors off which are required at night.
