Bike accident (legal) question

Cyclists on the sidewalk are invisible to drivers. Moreover, even if the cyclist is legally riding on the sidewalk, the motorist has the right of way at every single driveway or intersection. Sidewalk cycling is just not a safe thing to do unless the rider is going at walking pace. But it’s difficult to ride that slowly.

When you say they are “invisible” I assume you mean that drivers don’t register that they are there, rather than that they cannot be seen. Would the driver have had the “right” to run over S if he had already been IN the fast-food driveway?</p>
