From NPR:
.....
Days after he said bike lanes can cause "too much of a problem" for
drivers in London, a video has emerged that shows Britain's Secretary
of State for Transport Chris Grayling opening his car door and
striking a cyclist near Parliament.
....
Dooring is a crime in England, but for some mysterious reason Grayling
was not charged.
And of course, when a motorist is caught violating traffic laws and
actually injuring someone, this is a perfect opportunity to criticize
those pesky cyclists:
....
"One thing he did say was that I was cycling too fast, which was not
true," Liu tells The Guardian. "That made me really upset. He made out
it was my fault."
.....
"At the same time, cyclists in London are too often unwilling to obey
the road signs. I've seen regular examples of people who just bolt
through red lights.
....
As usual
...
A spokesperson for Grayling tells The Guardian, "This was an
unfortunate accident,"
...
No, it wasn't an accident. It was entirely preventable. All he had to
do was look before opening the door.
