broken bike.jpgDriver in France who parked van in cycle lane guilty of cyclist's manslaughter
A van driver in France who parked his vehicle on a cycle lane, forcing a cyclist to move onto the main carriageway where she was killed after being struck by a lorry, has been handed a sixth month suspended prison sentence for involuntary manslaughter.
The fatal crash that claimed the life of a 25-year-old woman happened in the city of Strasbourg, eastern France, in August 2015, reports 20minutes.fr.

In January this year, a court in Strasbourg found both the driver of the van and the lorry driver guilty of involuntary manslaughter.
Both the van driver, who said he had parked to unload goods to take them to a nearby warehouse, and the driver of the lorry, were given six-month suspended prison sentences this week.
The incident happened on the city’s Avenue de Colmar where there is no physical separation between the cycle lane and the main carriageway, although it does in some places have parking bays between the cycle lane and the footway.

Keep going, User - no such thing as 'no going back'! . Don't let the Bike Fascists silence you. .
It says she took up the sport aged 40 - six years ago - but I haven't been able to google how long ago she transitioned.
As a Marxist/Leninist/Fascist/Neo-contrapuntalist, I wish to complain at your cancel culture.
But it rather depends on identifiying the suspect, and how would they do that?
No worries. In NFBUK world shared paths will be banned, so that goes away and you are back in the road .
