Such things happen.  Vehicle partially pulls out of service station 
driveway, stops and waits for traffic to clear before making left 
turn onto roadway.  Bicycler riding against flow of traffic slams 
into side of vehicle stopped and waiting to make left turn.  Police 
investigation result: bicycle rider at fault, no citation issued 
to vehicle driver.  End result: insurance premium for vehicle driver 
increases from $500 per year to $2500 per year.  Reason: vehicle 
driver how has vehicle/bicycle collision on driving record.  

Believe me, such things happen...
