A detective from the Serious Collisions Investigation Unit confirmed to the Coroner that there were no criminal proceedings taken against the driver and that decision had been taken by the Metropolitan Police without reference to the CPS.
I'm not quoting from some vague media report, written by some hack with half an idea what was said and sub-edited for brevity and sensation. This is a summary by a Queen's Counsel so we can take it as an accurate report of the evidence which was given.
This case now seems to be closed but surely there needs to be some sort move to get the Metropolitan Police to review its procedures for the inevitable future cases.
I've searched the CTC website for the name of the deceased and I can find no reference to this rider's death.

Edit to add:
I've found this from a media report, just after Michael Mason died.

.The life support machine was switched off four days later after he slipped into a “permanent vegetative state” three weeks after colliding with a black Nissan in Regent Street (My emphasis.)
