QUOTE:
The mother of a ten-year-old boy who suffered terrible facial injuries
when an e-bike crashed into him has slammed the 'heartless' rider for
fleeing the scene.
Carter Ralph was left with his nose hanging off when he was struck while playing outside his home.
Hearing his scream, Nadine Ralph, 39, ran outside to find her son
covered in blood, lying on the ground seemingly unconscious. He required
two operations to repair injuries to his nose, mouth and one of his
eyelids.
ENDQUOTE
The punishment needs to be forty lashes and a permanent chav-cycling ban.

Please enlighten me.
Is it true that in the UK that bicycles are not subject to normal road
rules, because they are regarded in law as glorified pedestrians and
thus not vehicles or motorised transport?
Here in NZ Bikes are regarded as vehicles, just like cars, buses, etc,
and thus are subject to all appropriate road laws. Bike going through
red light -> fine $150, just the same as a car going through red light,
for example.
