Judge rules cyclist’s lack of helmet “of no relevance” as taxi driver fined €1,000 for breaking rider’s leg in roundabout crash – after police noted cyclist’s dark clothes and earphones
The judge concluded that the motorist’s actions, which saw him strike the cyclist from behind, were “at the lower end of carelessness” after his vision was “significantly obstructed” approaching the roundabout
The dildo of consequences rarely arrives lubed.
I'm really not a fan of the cops arguing that the cyclist was partly to blame, though, and a €1000 fine is pretty damn low for breaking someone's leg and wrecking a good six months of their life.
