WELL DONE ALL.

At around 2.40pm on Thursday, April 7, the Bakewell Safer Neighbourhood Team reported that they were attending an incident on Sheffield Road near Hathersage.

They found that a car had driven too close to a cyclist while overtaking, hitting the handlebars of their bike.

This caused the cyclist to fall off, and they sustained injuries as a result of the collision.

Officers reported that the driver would be prosecuted for driving without due care and attention.

WHO SHOULD BE PROSECUTED HERE:

<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03Xr8ZMrl20>

The important points in this video are:

The weather was good
The road was dry
The cyclists weren't racing
The cyclists weren't on a time trial
There were no pedestrians
There were no vehicles

.... and yet in these Cycletopia conditions, one of the cyclists
rear-ended another, and then fell off - partly because he couldn't get
to the brakes in time.

It practically makes the case for cyclists to be banned from the roads
(and pavements) on the grounds they are a danger to themselves if not
others.
