‘Sorry mate, I didn’t see you’: when drivers look but don’t see cyclists on the road
‘Sorry mate, I didn’t see you’: when drivers look but don’t see cyclists on the road
A driver isn't going to be seriously injured or even killed if their car is hit by a bike at speed.
Do you say "it's always the damn car driver" when you saw another car do something stupid?
But of course, it's the cyclist that is bad.
Do you morons think that cyclists are just that suicidal or something?
Every time you get behind the wheel of a car, you kill fractional human beings. Some from emissions, some from collisions, but statistically, for every km traveled, some fraction of a human being dies. Casually going to the convenience store for some smokes has a moral component. People hate it when things they want to do have a moral component. They will convince themselves that black is white and up is down to avoid engaging with it.
I think the starting assumption in any accident investigation should be that it's the driver's fault. That'd encourage appropriate caution. But it's undeniable that some cyclists (and pedestrians) are suicidally reckless.
Yeah dumbass, like cyclists are just BEGGING to get killed by YOU. Self important dickwad.
