Driver is the only one at fault...and I agree he should lose his license. That said, the kid crossed before the light went green for him. It is pretty obvious considering that all the other pedestrians and the bikers were not crossing for a while after he did...and a few seconds later, all of them start crossing at the exact same time (green light?)
Let's be honest, the kid didn't look before he crossed so it's his own fault he nearly died. Not too mention the bitch on the cyclist isn't paying road tax, has no helmet on and was on her phone, that's illegal and warrants 6 points in car, why not on a bike that is far more dangerous
"Nobody was disputing the need to observe the road before crossing" Actually, you was. You seem to be under the impression that people don't know it's the same person who keeps writing jibberish paragraphs. We know it's you.
You're obscene response was "The light was on RED" which clearly states that you believe because the light was on "RED" that you don't have to look. I've said it before and i'll say it again. It would be better for everyone if YOU crossed the road without looking, but not everyone else.
Sorry I seem to get under your skin so much, but you seem to believe you are somewhat intelligent and would actually hold up as a lawyer, you're dream, perhaps? but you wouldn't. You'd fail. Massively. Go ahead reply and prove you're just a troll clogging up this site.
You are truly shocking at arguing.... It's actually hilarious!
A dumb one at that.
"Look in the mirror.."
Oh yes, i'm sure in a court of law they would see that as a very valuable argument against my case. Oh wait they wouldn't. they'd realise that you are, indeed, a nonce.
You don't know what you're talking about and are just trying to sound clever. You don't, by the way.
For someone who puts so much effort into their replies against trolling you get a lot of downvotes. Probably because alls you're doing is clogging up the site with you're irrlevent sh*t and just provoking it.
Chaz smell the coffee. The sheer number of negative votes against you is most telling: you talk shit and your attitude stinks. I wouldn't be at all surprised if your other name is Sid? Hmm..
"Your complete disregard for one of my points renders your entire post irrelevant and proves you are just a troll."
Actually, it's you whose trolling as shown by your abusive ranting. Just as you are doing with the above comment. Someone disregarded for one of your points? Which one? Just because someone might disregards you talking crap, doesn't mean they're a troll..
"A dumb one at that."
Look in the mirror..
"Also, you should still look before crossing the road; regardless of the traffic light, that is... with the exception of you. You shouldn't look before you cross the road, in fact you should go and play on the motorway."
Nobody was disputing the need to observe the road before crossing. But as stated, that would do you absolutely no favors in court. You then appear to go on to make an even bigger fool of yourself, with more abuse/trolling. That's your ONLY recourse here, isn't it?
Trying growing up. Being a narcissistic sociopath might work in your bathroom mirror but on here and indeed, in a court, you would be done for contempt. Your disregard towards that female (whom you refer to as "bitch") might also see you done for contempt. You ARE trolling here.
Yet you always turn up don't you , you fucking helmet .
And your comma is erroneous ."
And you are clearly just turning up to troll. You can't argue FACTS regarding helmet use not being compulsory so you resort to abuse, and being pedantic over their use of a comma. If you were a decent human being you would accept you were wrong and move on instead of coming here acting like a moron.
The law doesn't see it that way, Chaz. You're blaming the kid for the driver's actions, which is essentially victim-blaming.
You then make sexist remarks against a women as well as go off on another rant about here not paying a tax that doesn't exist. Furthermore, helmets aren't mandatory. And phone use on a bike is not illegal. You also think using a phone on a bike is more dangerous than using a phone in a car..you are wrong. The difference between being on a phone on a bike and on a phone in a car is that the latter typically weighs several tons and thus the damage it can inflict compared to a bike is off the scale.
It may not be the most sensible thing to do, but using a phone on a bike isn't illegal.
None of what you say will save you in court if you ever do what this driver did in the video.
Agreed - the kid should have looked. Kids need to pay more attention and the car is paying to be on the road so should have priority over cyclists and pedestrians.
Your complete disregard for one of my points renders your entire post irrelevant and proves you are just a troll. A dumb one at that. Also, you should still look before crossing the road; regardless of the traffic light, that is... with the exception of you.

"Not too mention the bitch on the cyclist isn't paying road tax"
- Your disregard for the female sex is most telling. - Are you a moron with a social phobia? Also, and you'll love this (not), but Road Tax does NOT exist - roads are funded through local and general taxation. Shall I drop the penny for you? That's right, oh sensitive one: almost EVERYONE pays for roads and you do NOT have any more rights to them than the next driver. Cyclists, are there by right.
Helmets aren't compulsory, either.
In fact, virtually everything you've typed here is shit aimed solely at victim-blaming. Are you the driver? Are you Sid James? Are you capable of rational thought or will you come back with the same rubbish thus proving your only desire here is to troll?
Marcel you're wasting your time with the likes of Larry, who just comes here to vent hate then scurry away like some imbecile vandal having smashed a headstone because it was 'looking at him'..
Wonder if it was Sid James/Sid/troll x driving..after all they love to talk a lot about cyclists and hey is that another few targets for you to loiter around, Sid? Weirdo.
Shocking. The cretin wants taking off the road. Folks, when you're crossing you MUST look to check if it's safe because of drivers just like this. That's yet another innocent life almost taken away because of moronic, selfish, and dangerous people on our roads.
Mate you've given the wrong registration plate, vw fox is not produced in the year 2001 (y reg is 2001), it's YS10 CZZ not Y510 CZZ, you confused 5 with s. If you don't believe me type 2001 vw fox and few pictures of vw fox come but if you type 2010 vw fox lots of pictures will come of the vw fox.
That was so close. It felt like the car hit the pedestrian but thank god that wasn't the case. Driver should be prosecuted for this display of bad driving.
