Blow me. A dog, coon or skunk could do the same thing.

If you can't control your scud in public, park it or give it back to
the bank.

You're 100% right about the first Zoot but 100% wrong on the second. A dog,
coon, or skunk that tries to dart through traffic sometimes becomes road pizza.
Do you honestly think that all the road killed animals you see were struck by
drivers that could have avoided them if only they could "control their scuds"?
*IF* (notice the emphasis) as the poster postulates a cyclist darts out in a
nonforseeable manner and a driver trying to avoid him crashes, it's the
cyclist's fault not the driver's.

He probably looked. That's how I tell if there are cars coming.
