Possibly not. I /do/ know that, disgracefully, he claimed in his
defence that he didn't know there was a child in the trailer. That led
me to consider the possibility that there may very well be people out
there who don't know that such trailers are likely to contain children.
I'm sure there are plenty of motorists whose parents didn't cycle, and
who haven't been near a bike themselves since they were 10yo. How would
they know about child trailers? I probably wouldn't know about them, if
I wasn't a cyclist myself.
