Pretty silly, unnecessary situation.

Myself, I try hard to avoid being struck by 4000lb vehicles. Not riding foolishly. Not anticipating that no cars will be around. Not swinging wide, for any reason. Not disregarding traffic signals and signs, as they're there for good reason.

Can't count the number of times I've nearly wiped a fast-moving pedestrian or cyclist off the map while crossing (on the green light) through an intersection, where the other was in full disregard of the traffic light's red/stop condition.

Wouldn't want to be that person, hauled from underneath a vehicle and separated from the metal via Jaws-Of-Life by a group of firemen tasked with cleaning me off the roadway.
