The driver is absolutely responsible. However it is important to also teach safety. You can teach safety without condoning a driver's collision.

Teaching is always used as a suggestion by people who don't want to address the real problem.

Rather than actually changing anything, suggest education.

And when the problem could be mitigated by education, what, we just don't do it because attempting to inform people that the multi-ton chunk of metal travelling 30+ feet per second can't stop on a dime and that making themselves more visible is a Good Thing is "victim blaming"?

(A phrase, I might add, is the single most useless one in the english language? It's a thought-terminating cliche.)
