Nope, I'm not sympathetic. What rule could be more fundamental than
"Don't hit someone walking (or bicycling) with your car"?
 
And if killing someone with your car isn't sufficient for forbidding
future driving, what would be?
 
Is the permission to drive really more important than a person's life?

 
Isn't there a law against riding your bicycle in the path of a moving
car?

 
What nonsense!

 
Oh well, go ahead and do it....

 
I do it all the time. I did it many times on today's ride, as usual. I'm
not nearly as fearful or as ignorant of the law as you are.
 
Man up, if you can.

 
I'm pretty sure that if I ride into the path of fast moving vehicles
and get hit, it'd be my own fault.

There is world of difference between riding on a road, as one should be
able to so, and other users of the road as every have to adjust to others
using the road, back in wales I can encounter all manner of vehicles and
animals!

Even in london and areas around get
pedestrians/scooters/bikes/horses/motorbikes/milk
floats/vans/buses/lorries.

All of which will use the roads in different ways, unless it’s a motorway
where all traffic is broadly traveling same speeds.
