You’re right. They always say “I didn’t see it.”. I knew personally a guy who was killed because a woman driver didn’t see him.
The judge should take those drivers off the road by revoking their licenses.
I got a riding-like-a-maniac ticket, and in motorcycle traffic school, the instructor told the “class” that people have “look for cars” drummed so deeply into their heads that they don’t see other vehicles, including motorcycles, trucks, and semi tractor trailers.
His exact quote, “They are looking for cars. C-A-R-S, cars. If you are not a car, they do not see you.”
That was in 1977; I’ll never forget it.
