Didn't really expect much from DrivingUk but honestly the amount of downvotes shocked me. God forbid people go out at night dressed normally without full on high vis.

Driver described as "otherwise decent individual" spared jail after ramming cyclist off the road - road.cc
His lawyer also told the court Laher was “otherwise a very decent individual” whose business, an IT consultancy and distributor would become “unviable” if he received a custodial sentence.
“That would affect not just him but his employees as well […] his business is everything to him. It is everything to a lot of other people as well.”
So if you own a business in the UK you can basically commit any crime and go unpunished as being charged would affect your "employees".

More dangerous and selfish behaviour from drivers.
For those outside the UK “lollipop woman” is someone assigned to a pedestrian crossing outside schools in high vis and usually with a big “stop” sign (the lollipop). Absolutely no way a driver could not see them.
