You can't reasonably argue the logic in this, can you?

"How is it that drivers can see 100% of the cyclists who run stop signs and lights but 0% of the cyclists they hit?”.

Are we allowed to unreasonably argue the logic in this, please Sir?

 

[byegad]

Human nature explains it all.

If you think you can.

Maybe because only a tiny percentage of drivers ever hit a cyclist as the majority are observant and aware of their surroundings?

And the lights & signs?

 

[Smokin Joe]

And the lights & signs?

Well if they're aware of their surroundings they'll also notice red light jumpers, be they on two wheels or four.

If you'd seen the cyclist you wouldn't have hit them. Therefore the only ones you'd hit are the ones you don't see.

Should have gone to Specsavers.

I would contest this 100% figure.
I'm sure there are cyclists unseen by anybody as they jump lights and signs in the small hours of the night.

They're seen by God.

It's God's fault, He said "Let there be red light".

 

[surfdude]

well its because the lights reflect off the cyclist as they go through them and make it easier for cyclist to be seen by car drivers . when a car hits a cyclist the cyclist covers the windscreen of the car in a blur with their head and body blocking the view of the car driver as they fly off the car . hence the car driver didn't see them , just a blur . its a bit like my wife seeing me sitting down doing nothing but never seeing me do things around the house . its just one of life's mysterious

I was nudged off the road the other Sunday by a driving school car. We had words me and the instructor and he told me (erroneously) that the law states that I, a cyclist, should be within 3 feet (in a metric province) of the side of the road. He reckoned that I was further out than that and therefore in "his" part of the road and presumably, logically he had a right to do with me whatever he chose.
Therefore: if in your mind a road belongs to cars by law anything not a car is outlaw and subject to whatever justice you deem appropriate.
