At least it wasn't deliberate (cross fingers), and no one was hurt.
Hopefully the insurance company will pay for a new statue, and then recover
the costs from the driver, mwa ha ha.

It was deliberate. The driver was arrested on suspicion of drink
driving. Anyone who drinks and drives and then loses control of their
car did so through a deliberate and unacceptable act.

Unnaceptable yes, deliberate no.
For it to be deliberate, you'd have to say that when a senior member of a
local cyclist's organization fell off his bike in front of a policeman, it
was a deliberate act.

*suspicion*
Although undoubtedly guilty, I think that we should allow the driver
to stand trial before chopping off his goolies. It will serve to
prolong his period of trepid anxiety and give false hope.

<Guess>The blood or urine test will be the thing that confirms it, so they
can't arrest him for drink driving after just the breath test.</>

Oh I don't know. If a car drove into the cemetery where I was buried, I'd
like it to be *my* headstone that wrecked the f***er's car.

as an aside I was talking to a clubmate yesterday who now lives in
Switzerland; over there you can lose your driving license for drunk
cycling on the basis that if you're willing to do it on a bike you'd be
willing to do it in a car...
