Apparently pedestrians should take personal responsibility but not drivers

Different person: I've been struck on a bike. Driver didn't look while pulling out of a driveway and hit my rear wheel as I passed directly in front of them. They didn't notice until I was right by their window (having pushed my bike aside) then they stared blankly at me and drove off. Zero awareness or concern. If I had been slower I'm sure they would have lazily driven over me.

And I know a dude who was intentionally hit by a car at speed (also cycling) and has permanent injuries.

And I know another guy who was hit by a drunk driver at a crosswalk.

It's not that uncommon.

Oh, and one of my sister's childhood friends was killed by an inattentive driver. It's way too easy to get, and keep, a license.
