What is going on in Wellington?

This guy reckons he didn’t see the mayor before knocking her off, despite trying to overtake her a few times:

And this plonker reckons wearing hi vis clothing should be compulsory for cyclists even though the death he was investigating involved a cyclist wearing full vis clothing with lights!

Madness I tell you…

Awful

Stink news from Newtown following this accident. According to the report the cyclist suffered moderate injuries, but after speaking to someone who knows the bloke, he’s broken both collarbones, most of his vertebrae and a leg. Sounds pretty f@#king serious to me.

A driver apparently slammed straight into him from a side road, will be interesting to see if there’s any prosecution to follow.
