Deaths among cyclists are reported because they are rare. If driver deaths were reported equally the full horror would be clearer and the relative safety of cycling would be revealed. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14473#post-182520 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 18:58:37 +0000 Dave 182520@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Seems pretty fair to me. There are plenty of cases of drivers either not prosecuted at all or getting just 3-6 points after turning left over the top of cyclists etc. (I can't be bothered providing google evidence, it's too depressing).</p> <p>If I was banned from my profession for a couple of years I should think it would be quite difficult to get back in? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14473#post-182511 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 14:47:02 +0000 amir 182511@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>As always, I'm more worried about the length of driving ban than the custodial sentence. In this case 2 years. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14473#post-182510 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 14:34:59 +0000 chdot 182510@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/crime/no-jail-for-dangerous-driver-who-hit-boy-on-bike-1-3710109" rel="nofollow">http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/crime/no-jail-for-dangerous-driver-who-hit-boy-on-bike-1-3710109</a> </p>
