how not to filter and make friends with pedestrians

Er bit lucky he didn't get his butt in the claims court

Bit surprised he didn't see her, I'm assuming the camera is above his eye line though.

But I'm not sure why you would expect him to end up in claims court, she clearly ran into the road. Any 3 year old will tell you, stop look and listen. She failed on all 3 counts.

Why? He's not doing anything illegal, and she ran into traffic without looking. They're in the road, not on the pavement.

It's quite true to say that his obs should have been good enough to have seen that coming, she's quite clearly looking in the other direction and is hurrying, but that doesn't absolve her of her responsibility to pay attention when walking into the road, and in traffic too!
Note also the hopelessly predictable and lazy accusation of his speeding - she hadn't even seen him, how could she have been able to judge how fast he was going? If he had been travelling at any speed she wouldn't just have got up and hurried away.

biker needs to wake up. no wonder more and more bikers end up in hospital or dead. atrocious awareness skills.

The police may not consider it 100% there fault. As you are supposed to be scanning widely for pedestrians and all other hazards. In areas where you "can't" see, you are supposed to slow down enough that you can stop for any sudden change. Imagine if it had been a small child.

Had it have been a small child they would have got hit, knocked down, got up, cried and learned an important life lesson. I'd guess his speed was about 15mph which is hardly irresponsible.

Edit: he reckons 20mph when he first stops. Still.

I would have been slowing down 20 yards earlier at the junction on the right...just in case white van man tried to pull out in front of me...... or maybe I'm too soft and careful for filtering.

Oops I just walked into the road with out looking like a proper turnip, better turn this around quickly to put blame onto him then to a runner

'Could you go any faster?'

Nailed it

The lady was at fault imo. I'd be pretty annoyed if I was injured and/or my bike got damaged as a result a pedestrian being stupid.

On the other hand , the rider hasn't go much of a clue.
He's in good company though as 99.9% of riders I see on the road, ride in a similar fashion.

If you are going to filter at 20 mph, then use your brain and eyes.

50/50 in my humble opinion. She should have been looking where she was going, but the rider really should have seen her heading behind the Focus and at least slowed a bit in case she kept going. Fair play to him for trying to catch up and make sure she was alright though.
