"Your honor - how can I be legally responsible? I mean - I'm very sorry the guy on his bike died. That's too bad. But my car didn't see him 'cause his cell phone battery was very low. It was all his fault."
I was looking at the cycling sub on :reddit-logo: and someone on there was talking about cycling on the street and cresting a hill facing the sun. Apparently, the guy got rear-ended by a car and woke up in the hospital all messed up. The cop at the scene let the driver just leave because they said "oh the sun was in my eyes and I couldn't see the bike."
