Then you clearly haven't been on enough rural bike weenie group rides with idiots screaming ' CAR UPPP!!' on friggin Pulaski Hwy in Warwick, NY where everyone conscious can SEE the stupid car coming for 1.3 miles, largely because it's the ONLY DISCERNABLE MOVING OBJECT in your field of vision. Try it some time. You'll be a homicidal cyclist within 60 minutes.
