And of the 99.4%; virtually none actually result in a 'death by' conviction.
Regrettably, the BBC have adopted the popularist position (or their news editor doesn't like bikes) and taken against cyclists by mis-reporting the case leading to the discussion as if it was 'fact'.
Quote:
Charlie Alliston was jailed for 18 months for the death of his wife, Kim Briggs, last year.
Alliston was riding a fixed gear bike with no front brakes when he hit the 44-year-old mother-of-two as she crossed a road in east London in February 2016.
No, she walked out in front of a bike; which was travelling towards a green light, at a lesser speed than a car would have been doing. She was not "crossing the road", but walked out in front of a bike doing 18mph approximately 6-6.5M on her right.
Yes, said cyclist (as has been discussed ad infinitum) was riding a technically illegal bike - but would not an anti-jaywalking law be as much of a valid consideration as this one? It would surely save more lives, after all....
