    The bit that caught my eye.

    "But judges at the Court of Session ruled pedestrians were “entitled” to be “not at risk” from passing vehicles."

    Yet so many times cyclists are killed and its treated as nobody's fault

    @ gkgk Well, they have to generate some conflict amongst commenters when the story's not cyclist or tram-related, don't they?

    As for the incident, maybe we need yellow lines on the pavement to inform some peds that standing on the kerb's edge is risky! "Common" sense clearly isn't (Common) enough.
