Sure, and there's a point where "I didn't see you" means "I was negligent and not paying attention" rather than "You weren't visible". I'm not saying that motorists have no responsibility to look for bicycles; rather, that there is a shared responsibility: Motorists should look for bicycles, and cyclists should ensure that, if looked for, they will be seen.

Quite right. There are some cases where the cyclist is actually not visible enough (no lights, no reflectors). But more common is 1) the driver didn't look, 2) the driver didn't look carefully enough, 3) the driver couldn't see even if he/she was careful. For case 3) and HGV, a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzL0Kyk4m-8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzL0Kyk4m-8
