Again, I have to use my imagination, but I picture this happening at times, as when a cyclist runs a red light and the driver skids or swerves to avoid hitting the bike. I'm pretty sure that mid-block rideouts have been known to cause accidents also.

To say that cyclists never cause accidents is just plain goofy, IMO, although I'm sure many motorists greatly overestimate the frequency of this happening. Any human is capable of error, no matter what their mode of transportation.
