In other words, there's no difference between a drunk driver, and all other drivers, who, according to your theory, all fail to notice the cyclist up ahead in the bike lane?
In other words, drunkeness is not a factor?
Not at all. The fact that overlooking the presence of a cyclist up ahead because he is in a bike lane CAN be a significant contributory factor in a crash whether the driver is sober or drunk does not mean drunkeness is not a factor.
Does the fact that lights at night can help a cyclist be seen and not hit by drunk as well as sober drivers mean drunkeness is not a factor? Of course not.
Time to sharpen your logic knife. It's a bit dull.
