AKA: Physics always wins.
This is a great quote for all bike riders and other vehicles on our roads:
Respect physics above the law - being 'in the right' is a philosophical debate that can kill you. Anticipate the worst from other road users and ride accordingly. Even with the law cyclists are vulnerable - it pays to keep alert and don't take risks.
