"The judge said Hazeldean was “a calm and reasonable road user” but was still liable to pay damages, adding: “Cyclists must be prepared at all times for people to behave in unexpected ways.” "
I see, so if I were to deliberately hurl myself in front of a cyclist I could claim thousands of pounds in damages then?
Or, if I unexpectedly whacked a passing cyclist, who was wearing some ridiculous looking lycra outfit and a stupid looking helmet, over the head with a cricket bat his fractured skull would be his fault of for getting in the way of the bat would it?
Similarly, is I were to see Judge Shanti Mauger riding along on his bicycle in a calm and reasonable manner and I unexpectedly shot him for making such a f*cking ridiculous judgement in court then presumably that would be fine with him?
