"A road safety charity today slammed a decision not to ban a teenage driver
who hit a young cyclist while distracted by the mobile phone he was
holding."
He also had a worn tyre...
""The child accepted that he had ridden out in front of Mr Bradford."
But Bradford had been holding his mobile phone which probably contributed to
him being unable to stop in time.
Mrs Tucker told the court: "He (Bradford) later said there was another child
in the road and he was between the devil and the deep blue sea as to which
child he hit.""
Perhaps if he had maintained his vehicle properly and paid attention to what
was going on, he may well have been able to stop in time, thus not hitting
anyone??
