I was knocked off a bike on the road by a pedestrian who ran into the street without looking. Fractured orbital, almost lost my sight, he ran away failing to render any assistance. No charges for him. I’m not even sure what he could be charged with. I had some big medical bills after that and missed work for weeks.
“Mr Leonard of Balglass Road, Howth… initiated the proceedings himself due to a lack of progress in the Garda investigation into the accident.”
This is just pathetic. I was hit by an unknown biker last year as well and I got simply nothing from the garda after the one and only interview by the Garda
Gutter journalism strikes again.
It’s an e-moped, not an ebike.
Man, these cyclists are so dangerous. We should probably put in dedicated, separate cycling infrastructure to keep these madmen away from all of the civilised people.
This complete absence of punishments for driving offenses will just lead to victims bringing justice directly to the offenders and their families without involving the police or the courts.
>Mr Leonard alleged he had been jogging and wearing a high-vis vest and a light on his hat
Can the jogger sue for damages/pain and suffering? If yes, he should; he did everything short of just staying home to prevent being hit.
This seems like a genuine accident, the guy hung around and tried to help.
I think the judgement was fair in the end and its good it got publicity.
Hit and run??? And only 250? What a joke.
€250??? This is absolutely ludicrous. E-bike rider should be banned from driving and fined for having no insurance. I hope the jogger is now going after him for a personal injury claim. He should be getting thousands for a leg break.
