Just heard from a mate, he was only laughing and joking with him on a TT last night
Do you know his age, roughly? I'm sure I went to primary school with an Alistair Speed, he was big into cycling then and I heard it was a club rider. Very very sad, that's a fairly straight road but cars travel fast along it.

I'm not sure his exact age, I would guess in his forties. I found this on the web, which says he was 48

your mate must have posted in my thread, shame
Do you mean the cyclist was clipped from behind? If so that is terrible, clearly not given the cyclist enough space.

To me its common sense, I dont drive a car but used to have a Vespa and if I seen a cyclist I would also give them plenty room, the minute you get too close your asking for trouble and I certainly wouldn't want someones death on my conscience

Unfortunately that is so true

Does anyone know if cyclist fatalities are on the increase across the UK or are they just being reported more? I understood that it's typically about 200 per year - has this increased in recent years?

. I can't remember which was the last report I saw bit I think it was the 13/14 in which they dropped slightly from the previous year. Last time I tried to look the figures weren't out for 14/15. It takes a couple of months to publish them which is why I think it was the 13/14 figures I saw. All KSIs are reported, by their nature the emergency services become involved, so automatically recorded. it's the minor accidents where it goes unreported so there are discrepancies there. The figure for killed ... 118 is popping into my head but don't quote me on that coz I haven't got the info to hand. Think serious injuries was around 3,000 (that means life changing not broken bones).

She tried to pervert justice. She deleted the phone call she made.
sadly my wife was with this girls Sister in Law when this accident happened. She heard first hand about the phone call etc. She got the feeling they were covering tracks
