    No. I suggested that cycling into a winter bright sun on a public road equates to cycling in unsuitable conditions.

    Drivers who are unable to see moving objects in front of them due to the low, bright sun should not be driving in such unsuitable conditions.

    ... There was an accident in very similar conditions this time two years ago at Blakes Cross. Two lads were hit from behind by a van, one killed and the other badly injured.
    Any time I'm on that section at around 11am with a low winter sun and a wet road, I'm bricking it for a couple of hundred metres. Visibility can be almost zero coming to the brow of the little hill when heading south.

    Mmmnot really a correction, though; now the title is saying the Minister hit the car. "Minister in collision" would be neutral.
    I corrected a typo - nothing else. If you wish to discuss this further please take it to PM

    we won't be talking about anyone getting off Scott free.

    I'm so disappointed you didn't go the way of cockney slang and say Ridley Scott free for a double word bike related score.

    Yep I know exactly what you mean. I avoid that road for that very reason
