I get that^.
It does seem that a common reason for accidents is that the driver has poor visibility for one reason or another. This is not a sufficient excuse because if a driver cannot see well enough to drive safely, then the driver shouldn't be driving at all. Thought I hardly expect logic to make any difference in the real world. Cyclists really have to go above and beyond to mitigate the risks since they are way more vulnerable, as we read in this thread.
