Why should I ask him? He did not hit by car, nor do I know him. Someone earlier stated as fact that he is uninsured, whereas that was only a guess.Dryce said:Well maybe you should ask him and find out if he's one of the few.
I don't think 'common sense' is separate from intelligence.
There does seem alot of hatred on here and amongst other Car forums towards cyclists.
Maybe you've not mixed with the truly clever, they are generally thick as ****!
What's that expression... "All the gear and no idea!"

Its the blatant red light jumping, general disregard for the rules of the road etc etc that gets most peoples goat.
"Someone" would be me. Do you know a cyclist who is insured in case of an RTA on the road?
Unless it was a setup for a programme in the 'Jackass' mould, it seems to me that Occam's Razor would suggest that the cyclist suffered a lapse in concentration, that's all. Nothing to do with intelligence or the lack of it, or common sense.
It happens to all of us occasionally; "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." The difference is, mostly we get away unscathed...
Lapse of concentration on the road is unforgivable and the mark that you shouldn't be permitted to use it.
On the overall scheme of things this was not too bad just a lapse of concentration by the cyclist. Its the blatant red light jumping, general disregard for the rules of the road etc etc that gets most peoples goat.
Just lapse...but could have run into a mother pushing a pram as easily as a parked car.
