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”.
