Yet from my dashcam footage and and witness accounts no one could understand why the cyclist decided to speed up and basically ride into an on coming vehicle. The courts found "inconclusive" and I didn't have to appear in court.

I can never post the footage online, but it literally looks like the cyclist deliberately wanted create a dangerous situation. Had the cyclist maintained their safe and current speed they would still be walking today.

So should the car driving test be optional? You think training and education would stop people buying a motorbike? Please explain why you think this...
Not sure how old Kursk is but i suspect he/she passed his/her test when it was ride around the block a few times and then do an emergency stop when the examiner jumped out in front of you...

I could be wrong mind.
