"Can you cite
> any news reports?"

Alass CNN woefully neglected to cover the world-shattering news that a
van ignored the rules of the road and cut up a cyclist, you gibbering
fart-knocker.

Why are you claiming special knowledge of something you plainly know
bugger all about?

You don't even live in London or ride a bike, you've posted nothing
about your cycling experience for months and you profess a complete
ignorance of road safety.

What were the rules which were broken?

Where did I claim that? I know something of the rules of the road, I
know something about Seven Dials, and I know something about human
nature. That's all.

Which of those qualifications does one need to be allowed to discuss
this issue?
