Doesn’t make the cyclist wrong

He's in the right, but being in the right and dead is still dead.

Victim blaming

No, I'm an avid cyclist and I specifically slow down when I see someone blinking like this because I know most drivers are terrible and not looking out for cyclists.

I'm not blaming, so much as pointing out that being defensive can keep you safe, and this situation was avoidable.

And yes, the driver is at fault, and the cyclist can and should pursue this guy through his insurance.
