By the way, I doubt, even in Ohio, a driver is held responsible for rear ending another vehicle if it is dark and the forward vehicle has no lights or reflectors.
Fair point. There is an argument about whether the cyclist was "reasonably discernable." But, on a moral level, a driver of a car should drive so as to be able to stop when something comes within his sight. I still think the fault should be legally and morally shared.
