CityCyclingEdinburgh was launched on the 27th of October 2009 as "an experiment".
IT’S TRUE!
CCE is 14years old!
Well done to ALL posters
It soon became useful and entertaining. There are regular posters, people who add useful info occasionally and plenty more who drop by to watch. That's fine. If you want to add news/comments it's easy to register and become a member.
RULES No personal insults. No swearing.
Thought that this would be of interest.
I know I have opened a new thread in "Debate" but I have posted this mainly for information.

It does seem to be an utterly amazingly stupid thing to do. Not necessarily because of the (proven) risk of him passing out at the wheel (though lightning can obviously strike twice); but as much because the publicity about the case and the high profile nature of his condition, there was always going to be a massive chance he'd get caught / seen.
Well, it's either stupidity or a blatant disregard. And with the possibility of a private prosecution still hanging over him it does hint at a mindset that truly doesn't care about the potential harm he could cause...
He has now appeared in court on dangerous driving charges, and expected to return at a later date.
Good luck finding a sympathetic, even impartial, jury. Words civil enough to put down here otherwise fail me.
