I kid of course, but without knowing the circumstances around the collision it's impossible for anyone to tell if it bears any meaning on the conversation.
in you're insinuating my actions contributed to the crashes, you're incorrect.
two instances involved motorists hitting me broadside at controlled intersections...one rolled a stop sign, the other started a right turn, changed her mind and proceeded thru a red light. both were in broad daylight with excellent visual conditions. one driver was on a phone, the other was elderly.
the other incident was being hit from behind in a dedicated bike lane...also in broad daylight. was a hit/run, so no details on the driver's condition.
you could have a rotating aircraft nav beacon on your head and some drivers would still hit you.
bottom line is that simply wearing a bright color doesn't guarantee your safety.
