I came close to hitting a kid on a bike recently. He was travelling down the bike lane on the wrong side of a main road I was turning into, so he was coming from my PASSENGER side (ie, no traffic ever comes from that direction). I did glance that way, but it was dark and he had no lights. My wife saw him just as I released the brake and yelled. As I jammed them back on he passed a few inches in front of my bumper, my headlights illuminating his shins...
It would have been a relatively low speed accident but it could have been far worse because I probably wouldn't have seen him prior to the hit, and I would have just started accelerating.
I once saw a camgirl mention on chat that she clipped a cyclist. When asked if he was hurt, she replied "I dunno, I kept driving lol"
