A tragic but unnecessary death. Existing laws are perfectly adequate to ensure the safe passage of all.
As Nick points out, It is unclear as to whether the young lady was on the road or the pavement. Possibly, there was an element of jay walking. There is however, no excuse for using a bicycle as a weapon, which this rather callous rider in fact did. He should have been jailed!
Surely, the issue here is the old chestnut of "soft sentencing".
Bob.
