Solo Drivers should be appreciative of buses, bicyclists, pedestrians and carpoolers -not resentful

46. Sometimes there are people driving who don't give a rat's ass about the safety of others.

This article is about my cousin's son who was killed while riding his bike. He was 22 years old and had a very promising future. Snuffed out because of one careless driver.

This was a HIT AND RUN 'accident'.

The person who killed him has just killed an elderly woman who was also riding a bike. He was not given jail time. He was sentenced to 300 hours of community service..

No justice.

THE family of the first victim of killer motorist Gary McCourt today broke their near-30 year silence to speak of their grief.

Liz and Ann Dalgity called for a stiff jail sentence for the motorist who has now killed two cyclists on Edinburgh’s roads. The deaths were less than a mile apart.

Earlier this month, McCourt was found guilty of running down Audrey Fyfe, 75. It only emerged after the trial that McCourt, 49, of Niddrie Mill Avenue, had a previous conviction for careless driving from 1986.

George Dalgity, 22, died from massive injuries after McCourt knocked him off his bike in Regent Road.
