• Most people don't plan crashes. Sane drivers don't look for easy targets on the road.

    As a cyclist you don't run over pedestrians, because there's no law which puts you automatically at guilt, do you?

    The harsh consequences - even if it's** not their fault** and the guilt is implied by default - can make them panic and leave the site of the accident.

    I'm afraid I can't follow your logic as to why the factors you adduce should lead to more hit-and-runs. Pray elaborate.
