He doesn't sound like a character who should be trusted with others lives. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13799#post-170015 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 10:17:45 +0000 fimm 170015@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Agreed, Min. I didn't need to know that. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13799#post-170007 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 08:31:58 +0000 Min 170007@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>They is a particularly charming detail of the man's injuries in that article. Hope his family don't read that. Don't the writers think of that when they write this stuff? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13799#post-169985 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 00:33:07 +0000 Snowy 169985@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Terrible. I really felt ill reading that. Condolences to the family.</p> <p>Driving without due control should be treated the same whether it's through drink, tiredness or playing with your phone. Let's hope the sentence sends that message.</p> <p>I'm sometimes asked why (when I have a choice) I refuse to stop the family car in lay-bys which are right next to the road, and instead turn off or wait for a lay-by which has an island between the carriageway and the parking. This is why. Edit: ...that's not victim blaming by the way. I just have a healthy fear of enormous lorries piloted by zombies, having seen what lorries can do if they go over the top of a passenger car. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13799#post-169982 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 00:21:32 +0000 chdot 169982@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/transport/lorry-driver-fell-asleep-and-killed-man-in-lay-by-1-3586308" rel="nofollow">http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/transport/lorry-driver-fell-asleep-and-killed-man-in-lay-by-1-3586308</a> </p>
