The only way I can read this is that you believe, of the people that cause a collision with a bicycle (accidentally or otherwise), all (or almost all) of them would just leave you to die on the side of the road.
That is a staggeringly low opinion of humanity.
- btrettel 8y agoThe low opinion is not of humanity, rather, certain drivers who are particularly dangerous. I didn't have all drivers who'd be in a collision with a cyclist in mind, just a large fraction of those who deliberately pass cyclists closely. My wording was too strong. Hit and run crashes account for roughly 12% of all crashes in the US, so they may be more common than you believe: https://aaafoundation.org/hit-and-run-crashes-prevalence-contributing-factors-and-countermeasures/ https://aaafoundation.org/hit-and-run-crashes-prevalence-con...
