Why is the Driver Automatically the Bad Guy?

The chance of the bicyclist stopping for the stop sign, looking, not seeing the Hummer (or seeing it and seriously mis-estimating its speed), and proceeding directly into its path are damn small. First you have the already small chance of the bicyclist actually stopping, then you have the even smaller chance of him not noticing a Hummer if he were looking for it. The chances of the bicyclist blowing through the stop sign like it wasn't there and not seeing the Humvee as its driver did the same are a heck of a lot better. -- There's no such thing as a free lunch, but certain accounting practices can result in a fully-depreciated one. |
