INdirectly, and not even that. If she had been a few seconds behind where she was now, you hadn’t stopped, he waited for a few seconds to let you pass and then hit her, would you feel guilty, too?
- jimmyvalmer 5y agoNot the same. If she were a few seconds behind, she'd prepare for the incoming car who now has right-of-way. The problem is OP performed an unexpected action which created an anxious moment for the incoming car who drove in hastefully to minimize OP's bending over backwards. A cyclist parallel to OP could be excused for barrelling ahead assuming right-of-way traffic remains right-of-way.
