Cyclists have been warned by a judge that they must not pass buses on the inside.
One who did, and knocked down a student as she left the bus, was ordered by Judge James Carroll in the Circuit Civil Court to pay her £2,000 compensation and share her legal costs.
Judge Carroll told Mr Finbarr Fox, counsel for Dublin Bus, that the bus driver was not negligent. He held the driver did not have a duty to warn or control passengers as they alighted and that drawing up within two feet off the kerb was not an excessive distance from it.
Ms Sandra Corrigan (20), of Corrig Glen, Blessington, Co Wicklow, had sued Dublin Bus and the cyclist, Loughlin O'Gorman, Killegney, Clonroche, Co Wexford, for injuries she received when knocked down at Christchurch Place, Dublin, in November 1992.
