I used to drive a bike trafficked roads, even at night, but I stopped doing this after almost hitting a biker while driving when I realized how hard it is for a driver to see and avoid bikers in traffic or for bikers to go through heavy trafficked area safely.
Driving a bike through traffic or on a trafficked road at night or driving through a bikers area is basically the same as driving while drunk and stoned at the same time, only you don't realize it until you get hit by a car or you hit a biker with your car and its too late for both of you then (though if you do it, have at least the freakin decency and humanity to call an ambulance before running from the scene!)...
...there's a very simple non-technical solution to this, but I won't tell you (read: "everyone" instead of "you" as we're on a public forum) what the solution is because after knowing it you may be more tempted to flee from an accident scene (you can probably figure out the solution by yourself if you have a brain and an opsec oriented mind) and I'd feel morally responsive for it :P
we all supraevaluate our competencies in lots of areas, including driving. I haven't ever actually hit anyone and I adopted a more prudent driving style in biker areas since, but I'm just being realistic about it and recognize the fact that I tended to be over confident in my driving skills, and considering that most people I know have equal or worse driving skills, I can only assume that they also supraevaluate theirs (maybe other would have just rationalized an "almost hit accident" and think something along the lines of "if my reflexes were good enough to avoid it this time, they will be good enough to avoid it next time too" and ignore the statistical side of things). And I would never do a hit-and-run but I'm realistic about assuming lots of people will be tempted to do so and some will give in to this temptation (imagine hitting someone in a foreign country and contemplating the possibility of spending time in a foreign jail for this!).
...that's why I really think that driving is and area where machines can get to be much better than humans and really hope to see thing's like Google's autonomous car perfected and used.
