Passers-by lift car off stricken cyclist

How long before the bystanders get sued for damage to the car...

Perhaps everyone who rides in London could have some free cycle training. Yes it's the car drivers faults for not looking properly, but we can help ourselves by being where they tend to look, particularly at junctions which could be front of them or not too far away to the side of them, but not and never by the kerb. This allows drivers to stop beside you and if they are turning left and you are going straight on there could be trouble!
Also never go up the inside of a stationary lorry stopped at lights. The driver can't see you and if the lorry is going left and you want to go straight on even more trouble. Best to wait behind in the the stream of traffic if you can't get to the front and wait in primary position in full view of drivers behind you.

Cool stuff, least some care. Get well soon. Wear a helmet it makes sense.

It's not the cars, buses and Lorries that are the problem it's human beings who don't take a few seconds to look properly because they think getting home or to work is more important than anything else in the world!

Restores faith in humanity, professional motorists and bystanders helping a cyclist, great to hear.

That is awesome that people took action to help someone rather than just stand around and take pictures

Please don't turn this into another helmet debate, that's been done to death recently!

Good work from the bystanders too - all too often people just stand there gormlessly (usually videoing it on mobiles). Hope she recovers fully.

Good on those passer by, lets hope when they need a hand they recieve it too.

Glad she's ok, very nasty.

Don't know the circumstances behind the incident but if motorist at fault would welcome comments from Kate Hoey given cyclists are freeloading louts and motorists are hard done by pillars of society.

Positive community action and spirit by a small group. Great stuff.

Now let's wait to hear the news story about the driver suing the by standers to cover the additional damage to the car by rolling it on it's side !!

Well done to the bystanders, to often you only get people rubber necking with their camera phones out recording it for bloody facebook or you tube.

Glad she is ok.

Fuck science, let's make our up minds based on knee-jerk, flawed analyses of a small, biased selection of anecdotes!

Each to their own? You can choose 6 days waiting for somebody to die in HDU, I chose life.

Nice work by the people who lifted the car, to often we stick to health and safety rules in this country, although not in this case, waiting for the fire brigade could mean the difference between life and death.

As for the helmet, each to their own

Well done those chaps.

And I'm very glad she was wearing a lid. Too many victims recently already.
