No, the problem is when drivers and police are all to willing to believe a cyclist caused a crash even when they in fact did nothing wrong.

You don't have to look very hard to see that most motorists, police and even some judges are often biased in favor of the driver. Heck, most don't even understand the actual laws regarding cyclists. Some think that a cyclist is breaking the law if he/she is ever "in the way".

The fact that someone may choose to avoid this injustice in a situaton where it seems likely it would happen doesn't necessarily make them a bad person.
