While scoping out a new cycle lane route some numbnut in his lorry hit a speed bump wy too fast, the rear doors flung open, smashed through the screen of a parked Mondeo and then flicked it out across the road at the group of cyclists including Mayor Boris:

When you think about it, life and death can come down to seemingly random timing.

A little bit earlier or a little bit later and the outcome could have been completely different.

For example, a year earlier and they'd have stood a good chance of hitting Ken Livingstone...

That videos pretty freaky, and tbh, if I hadn't just seen that I would've thought it was a wind up. Scary though. Wonder who'll get the blame?

I agree
It's the time that we kill that keeps us alive...
