Disgusting.

The article does also mention that details have been passed to British Triathlon for their investigation. The rider(s) may yet get banned from competing nationally.

I also think the organisers are to be commended for identifying two of the offending triathletes. The footage doesn't give them much to go on.

Even a 1hp roaduser has a dashcam nowadays next step she'll have a rear cam too.

Wouldn't blame her if she did.

Ian Plumb found guilty of riding without due consideration - ordered to pay £926 (fine and costs).

Good!

Glad he was found guilty but £50 compensation to rider pitiful.

£926 fine, which I'm glad about, but kill (and not just clip a horse) a person while driving (especially a cyclist) and you'd be hard done by to be fined much more than 300 quid.

£216 fine, £50 compo and £30 surcharge. The rest was a nobber tax for pleading not guilty.

Fined over £900 though. Nobody was hurt although it was stupid. Cyclists have been killed by dangerous driving & fined £170.
More proof we are just pigeons of the road.

He pleaded not guilty? On what grounds?

Edit - reply to winjim.

I don't think you need grounds to plead not guilty do you? Presumably he took legal advice.

He wasn't fined £900. He was fined £216.

I’m so sorry, BBC news said A triathlete who hit a horse during the cycling section of a race has been ordered to pay £926. I’m only repeating what I read in the news.

So so sorry!
