My post stemmed from the feeling that for whatever karmic reason, I'm sure that I would get a citation in any similar case, were I the driver. And I'm not talking about the fame of the motorist in this case.
I can't help but hold my experiences with drivers as an urban bicycle commuter up next to all the articles I read about motorist/bicycle accidents-- and I say again, it seems that there is never a citation.
I'm far from an expert on the percentage of multiple vehicle crashes that result in citations, but my impression is that citations must me more common when it's car vs car than when it's car vs bike-- because I hear of former, but rarely the latter.
Pure conjecture, which is why my post used the word "seems."
