This is from a regularly scheduled Everglades Bike Club weekend ride in Key Biscayne, USA, on a 10km stretch of road, and all the drivers know to expect it will be there in the mornings.

Hot take: Accidents don't just happen. They can be due to lack of skill, judgement, maintaince, road conditions/design, and calling car crashes accidents as if they're beyond people's control only serves to help the responsible parties dodge consequences of their actions.

    Yes, many times they are under people's control. It's still accidental. Things like driving annoyed, at speed, on grass, next to a bunch of bikers, are things that are under a driver's control to avoid doing to prevent causing an accident.
