      That’s a major marketing point for “light trucks” actually

      “Killed a kid on a bike because you couldn’t see over the hood? The roads are dangerous! It’s their fault for not driving something safer like the Kinderstampferwagen K3500™”

    The one time I was hit while cycling, I had my attention split 2 ways and was hit by a driver from a 3rd conflict point.

    When you see a cyclist doing something dangerous, you make note of that to confirm the idea that cyclists are stupid and reckless. But when you see a driver doing that, you’re so used to it it doesn’t even register as “all drivers are stupid and reckless”.
