While I mostly agree you, I think “never valid” is a bit extreme. My uncle was hit by a drunk driver that turned left into his lane at the last minute on a straight road.
These type of incidents, which are rare and can’t be avoided, is why I took my bike off the road and only take it to the track.
Maybe the first rule of riding is “it’s not the safest form of transportation and you must accept the risk”?
