nope, wrong. yes you follow the law, but if you run into a car without its lights on from behind you're still partly liable. you have eyes, powerful headlights, and an obligation to drive at a reasonable speed for conditions such that you can brake for *anything* in the road adequately.
what is more troubling is the degree of legal positivism embodied by your post, whereas i believe traffic laws should cater more readily to the capricious nature of the bicycle (as the dutch say) and the notion that streets are not gutters and arteries for the ready circulation of physical capital. never an excuse to hit a cyclist or pedestrian, period. cheers, erik On Sat, Dec 11, 2010 at 4:35 PM, Kelly <tkslee...@gmail.com> wrote: > That is complete garbage to suggest a driver be responsible for not hitting > you no matter how dark or unlit up you are.
