Teenage cyclist to stand trial after pedestrian seriously injured Robert Michael Mobley is charged with causing bodily harm through wanton or furious driving following incident in Swindon last year cycling
A teenager who was riding his bike when he allegedly injured a man is to stand trial next month accused of causing bodily harm through wanton or furious driving.
Whosoever, having the charge of any carriage or vehicle, shall by wanton or furious driving or racing, or other wilful misconduct, or by wilful neglect, do or cause to be done any bodily harm to any person whatsoever, shall be guilty of a misdemeanour, and being convicted thereof shall be liable, at the discretion of the court, to be imprisoned for any term not exceeding two years.
While e-scooters outside authorised public hire schemes are not legal for use in the UK other than on private land, people who ride them on the public highway who injure or kill other road users would by contrast be prosecuted under road traffic laws such as causing death by carless driving, as well as facing other potential charges such as driving without insurance.
“And there is another change I’m bringing in which you may not be aware of, which is to make sure that we’re able to prosecute cyclists who, for example, cause death by their own dangerous cycling. “As the Transport Secretary’s own minister Andrew Stephenson confirmed in December, the DfT is already working on the terms and remit of a call for evidence into road traffic offences. While that is long overdue, with a full review first promised over seven years ago after prolonged campaigning from Cycling UK, there’s little more than we can say on this issue, other than that we’ve never opposed cycling offences being be part of that review.
