In any event, the judge is stupid if by no other reason than this statement: "The judge said Hazeldean was “a calm and reasonable road user” but was still liable to pay damages, adding: “Cyclists must be prepared at all times for people to behave in unexpected ways.”

Besides, if she claims they're both guilty why is one being fined and the other is not. Regardless of them putting in a claim, it should be invalidated or dismissed. A judge in the U.S. could deny the claim on those grounds. On the other hand, maybe that's how it works in the UK?
