Yeah it's a tough one, the woman was as you say aggressive and nasty but cyclists aren't supposed to be on the pavement either. It's a tough call, it doesn't look like there was any section of the pavement allocated to cyclists but the poor woman was right out on the edge and cycling pretty slow

Seems like she was jailed for being unpleasant AND going to Sainsbury's, an unacceptable combination

In the BBC video as the reporter is speaking a guy on a bike at speed whizzes past her on the path?

^ Yeah I thought that was quite ironic
It's obviously a very busy road so probably should have a cycle lane but that pavement doesn't look suitable to be one. If the police can't establish whether it's a shared cycleway or not then you can't expect pedestrians to know. As the woman is disabled and partly sighted that would also make her more agitated at seeing a cyclist coming towards her No excuse for pissing straight off to Sainsburys though |

Deserved longer. I highly doubt a 77 year old woman was driving manically on the pavement.

getting her off the safe pavement She was in a Panic, then turned fast into the road (Her big error, not checking the traffic) Best thing to do would have been to get off the Bike walk past the angry lady then get back on it. Last edited by arista; 05-03-2023 at 10:15 AM. |

The woman being sentenced was partially sighted
On average 17 people a year in the uk get killed by being hit by a push bike The person driving the car should take some of the blame because around the time of covid people were always stepping in the road to avoid another person walking on the path. And why I’m saying about the driver is this, if an idiot slams on his brakes in front of you, and you hit him, it’s you that’s in the eyes of the law to blame This is a sick decision in my opinion. |

Very tragic for the elderly lady and the Driver of the car. One is dead and the other scared for life.
Isnt it against the law for an adult to cycle on the pavement?....I dont really blame the woman for having a go at her especially as she possibly didnt see her coming until the last minute. It does seem a bit severe...although her actions clearly caused her death but the woman should not have been cycling on the pavement as it seemed quite narrow and difficult for the pedestrians to pass... |

For me the fault lies fairly and squarely on the local council for allowing fsst moving cyclists on a 5 foot wide path with pedestrians on a busy through road. Its negligence writ large.

Wait... She didn't physically touch her? She just aggressively shouted at her to move, and the lady got a fright and went/fell onto the road without looking?
Absolutely bizarre decision. Yes it's a bit rude but I can't get my head around this being anything other than a tragic accident. |

And I agree that cyclists shouldn't be on the pavement unless it's clearly split into a pedestrian lane and a cycle lane. So yeah either the cyclists are breaking the law by using it, OR it's been signposted as for cyclists and pedestrians by the council but isn't suitable.
There are plenty of (off the road) cycle tracks around here that are for both bikes and pedestrians but they're ALL signposted saying that cyclists should be aware of and slow down for pedestrians. I've never seen anything to suggest that a pedestrian could be at fault for causing a cyclist to fall off their bike by shouting. If they pushed them or jumped into their path or something then that would be different. |

The Judge has No Notes on the Angry Ladies mental health state. So when she went onto get her shopping that is typical of an Angry Autistic person She had no medical specialist in court. So the Judge viewed it as it went down. He sent her to Jail |
