I don't think there's anything in there that hasn't been discussed at length in this forum but it is interesting that radio 1 are covering it. Do they think their audience are most likely to be the driver or the cyclist in this sort of incident?
Personally, I don't think their headline reflects the nuances. I'm more concerned with how few driving bans are dished out and how many people escape any form of conviction than I am about prison sentences.
I was also rather dismayed by the quote half way down:
"I don't think it's fair because I wasn't driving dangerously, I wasn't driving erratically," he said. "I just failed to see someone who was on the road.
The article doesn't make the point that "seeing someone who is on the road" is a minimum standard for safe driving.
