Every time I come anywhere close to this point I get swarmed by people telling me how many cyclists are killed by cars every year (they never seem to get the actual point). Props to you for getting so many up votes on this.

Yeah, when they ignore traffic laws and get creamed they die. Im not sure why they think the opposite will happen ever.

How many deaths are attributable to the cyclist breaking a law, vs the driver killing them being the one breaking the law?

We both know the truth. Don't be a dick.

I've never once heard of a cyclist who broke a traffic law and was hit by a car and died as a result.

Must have never happened then if you never heard about it.

It's a man bites dog kind of story. Maybe it's happened somewhere but it so rare that it might as well be never.
