I was visiting my grandmother in the care home, and one of the staff asked me a question, which I answered in what, in my head at least, sounded like my normal Norwegian accent. The staff member gave me a slightly surprised look and asked «oh, are you Dutch?» I just said «eh, no?» and she said «oh, ok» and that was that. ik heb geen idee wat er is gebeurd Ik ook niet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The video of the incident shows the pedestrian blocking the way of the cyclist at close range, causing her to swerve onto the road and be hit by a car. It wasn’t just that she shouted at the cyclist, it was the deliberate action to cause the cyclist to swerve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 It's tragic they fell into the road, but being found guilty of a crime for telling a cyclist to get off the pavement and gesturing to the road?

It wasn’t just that she shouted at the cyclist, it was the deliberate action to cause the cyclist to swerve. I guess there's two things that would need to be considered, was it a deliberate action, and is it a reasonably foreseeable outcome of that action for the cyclist to fall into the road. My initial thought on viewing it was that the pedestrian, who's noted to have cerebral palsy, had an unsteady gait far before the cyclist approached, and it's quite a narrow pavement. The court will have heard far more detail though so shouldn't get too outraged from a short clip and article. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted February 25, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted February 25, 2023 Having been in similar scenarios myself, my sympathies are 100% with the pedestrian. Open and shut case of death by misadventure. Throw it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted February 28, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted February 28, 2023 So today our receptionist asked if I walked past a post box on the way home and wouldn't mind putting the post in it for her. I said sure (certain I did). So from 103 Colmore Row to Snowhill Station, I walked the whole length of Colmore Row, the beating heart of Birminghams business district and there isn't a sing frigging postbox anywhere. I nearly missed my bloody train and had to actually bring them home with me and post them in Shirley. Bonkers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
