German track cycling team hit by driver in major Mallorca collision, three riders seriously injured

The incident contains three ingredients that several British newspapers could have a field-day with: Germans; cyclists; and, an OAP.

“Lycra-krauts rear-ram grandad” sort of thing.

As is often the case, the blanket ban on drivers over the age of 80, proposed earlier in the thread, targets a whole generation of people for the transgressions of the few.

By "transgressions", do you mean running over other people resulting in life changing injuries or death?

And actually to describe the incident which resulted in the collision of the German track cycling team as a 'transgression' seems pretty disrespectful and de-humanising.

“ Transgression refers to the act of breaking a law, rule, or moral code. It can also mean an infringement or violation of a duty or command.”

I’m perfectly happy to use the term which offends you so deeply, in the confident knowledge that I had no intention of making light of the incident in question.

...Well.. for starters, you could at least recognise that people have been harmed and there was a chance that the results could have been alot worse...
