I have lost my son in a fatal accident due to a cyclist cutting in front of him at a filter light. The cyclist was found guilty of careless and inconsiderate cycling and received a fine. There is NO law for cyclists to be charged with Death by Careless/Dangerous Cycling, and we want this to change.
