That is fucking crazy, even allowing for the misleading headline (she got £14k in damages and legal costs). The pedestrian stepped out in front of him without looking as she was using her mobile phone. The traffic lights were green, and he sounded a horn as a warning, and he swerved to try to avoid her. She sued him, and won! The judge ruled that "cyclists must be prepared at all times for people to behave in unexpected ways".She also said: "Mr Hazeldean did fall below the level to be expected of a reasonably competent cyclist in that he did proceed when the road was not completely clear." Staggering. Anyone else off out this evening to find a cyclist to step out in front of?
