No, I'm coming at it much more from the opposite end of the spectrum.
If these accidents are happening in full daylight then how is there any excuse for a driver not seeing a cyclist in the road, if it's literally the only thing in the road and if it's happening at night, how, with lights and reflectives are the drivers failing to observe cyclists.
It's always going to be the driver's fault unless something odd happens like the cyclist crosses the carriageway unexpectedly - but why, on a flat straight road, would you not pass another human being with as much space as was possible?
