She was a first year student at catz (St Catherine's college). Grieving friends have turned a small area of the quad into a sea of candles, laid flowers and messages and are gathered there tonight.

Just wondering exactly how many cyclists and pedestrians are taken out bu buses in Oxford every year and how it compares to the national average, its seems to be a growing phenomena here
really sad news........

vulnerable cyclists & how to protect/encourage them

not sure if this is the case, but had heard that in Holland, it doesn't matter what the circumstances are, when there is a collision between a bicycle and a motorised vehicle it's always the vehicle that is held accountable...

CYCLISTS 20 TIMES MORE LIKELY TO BE KILLED BY CARS + LORRIES THAN BY BUSES
27.05.2004 13:46
In terms of the relative danger of buses to those of us who cycle, its worth remembering, however, that cyclists are 20 times more likely to be killed and nearly 50 times more likely to be seriously injured by a car, van or lorry than they are by a bus or coach.
(see: www.dft.gov.uk/stellent/groups/dft_transstats/documents/)
It also seems that the increased use of speed restrictions in towns and cities has been responsible, in part, for a reduction in fatalities and serious injuries to cyclists in the last few years.
More speed restrictions, fewer cars and greater use of buses will lead to a safer environment for cyclists.

tribute to Emilie

It is said that you can judge someone by their friends and to be judged on the virtues of someone such as Emilie would truly be a magnificent thing. I shall forever look back with joy at the precious moments and privileged memories this exceptional individual has given me.

Messages for whom ?
02.06.2004 11:04
What exactly is the point of them ?
The visible ones, some quite long, are very clearly addressed to the deceased, whereas some are actually folded and could not be read by the public. So it does look as though somebody expects the unfortunate girl’s ghost to contrive to read them. I was not, of course, referring to these computer comments as “notes”.

note to seton
12.06.2004 15:18
my cousin was loved by everyone and thats the sort of sweet thing she'd do (write notes like that) because she would understand the meaning of them.
try imagining how you'd feel, and how u'd wish u had said things to that person before they died, then realising u couldnt. by writing notes its a way for u to say them even if u dont believe the deciesed would read them.

On the other Hand

But something that is less often considered, because they are the underdog, is the quality of road-handling of the cyclists themselves.
I have driven through Oxford, through that same area, many many times, and the amount of cyclists who cycle past you on the outside lane of the roundabout, then cut you up as you try to turn into Cowley, or the number of cyclists who treat unmarked roads as having cycle lanes, expecting you to constantly scan for them in your mirrors as they overtake near junctions, when traffic slows, is astonishing.
I have had a few near misses, which have not been my fault, but caused by an agressive attiitude that the driver should be responsible for the situation, and the cyclist can just weave in and out, free of rules or responsibility. And when I've screeched to a halt, they look at me with the sort disgust with which you might regard a speeding, reckless driver. It's my fault, because I'm driving the dangerous vehicle.
That is not a socially responsible attitude to take.
This needs to be adressed because it is a cause not just of accidents, but of the kind of contempt that causes some drivers to just ignore them altogether and drive however they feel, with reckless disregard.
