If we all agree that there are poor drivers on the road, shouldn’t we not do everything possible to make sure that we are seen? And yes he was wearing dark clothing which contributed to me not being able to see him. I chose not to mention this, until this was brought up, as I did not want to offend anyone by “shaming” this cyclist! Can you please provide a link to the story of the guy who got off because the cyclist was wearing dark clothing but did have a light on his bike because this would interest me.
No, not under the law, but frankly, if you're driving in such a manner that you end up killing a person on a neighbourhood street, I feel like you should feel be responsible for that, no matter the circumstances, it's a neighbourhood street, pedestrians aren't required to carry lights. Maybe the thing you should learn from this experience should be that slowing down is a good idea.
