Just as an aside, 'beyond a shadow of a doubt' or 'beyond a reasonable doubt' should no longer be used. The correct phraseology is now 'so that you are sure'...
I will be interested to see if this goes to appeal and in some ways I hope that it does. I think there are some important issues that need to be addressed, in particular about cyclists and speed.
One thing that surprised me about this case (though on reflection I shouldn't be surprised) is that the police, CPS and court seemed to find it difficult to believe that a cyclist can do 20+mph. I routinely do so such speeds on my commute, where the road is relatively clear (e.g. along the Mall). If this judgement stands, will it be used to condemn me? Yes, I know it's not precedent setting but that won't sop people from trying to use it.
Also, as a matter of inteest, I wonder whether there were any cyclists on the jury - or whether it was all drivers?
