It happens all the time. The only reason I dont hit them these days is down to experience. Hit a couple in my younger years due to not expecting anyone to pull out, speed in the wrong places etc etc. A couple of hospital visits later and I have gained the experience. But, don't gain it my way, it hurts!!
My personal thought is we are responsible for our own safety and a single question in a list of many will not make much difference. We may be only 1% of road users and 20% of fatalities but this is because of our vulnerability and not only because we are not noticed.
Yes.... The extra questions may slightly reduce those figures, but lets all be realistic. It'll never ever come down to 1%.
So, worth signing (and I'll sign too) but lets all understand the facts rather than the hype.
Always expect the unexpected and look after yourselves.
