More dangerous vehicle is at fault in an accident, period. Cyclist shoots out in front of a car out of a blind alley and gets hit? Driver was going too fast.
You're making an argument for drivers to drive no faster than 20-mph (at best) in most city areas. I understand and agree with going slow down a residential area with parked cars, because kids come out of no where; however, there are so many other areas where cyclists and pedestrians just need to know that they cannot just come bolting out of a blind area.
