Damn cyclists!

This story could have been entitled "TV presenter drives carelessly and hits a cyclist". But But no. Apparently when you hit a cyclist, it's their fault for "veering in front of you".

I once read someone online saying that they didn't like even driving beside cyclists because they thought they might "suddenly veer in front of them". I pointed out to them that they were about as likely to "suddenly veer in front of them" as they were to "suddenly spontaneously drive onto the footpath". Strangely enough, most cyclists are actually in control of their bikes, they're not like some kind of wild steed.
