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,
