even a bell used (her or you) could’ve improved the situation
A bell would have been useless had it been a car instead of me on my bike.
This logic also assumes you’re getting over as much as you can (even totally off the road if it isn’t a ditch) whenever you see oncoming traffic
Hence why this isn’t “logic” at all. There are many situations in which a cyclist riding against traffic has nowhere to go - like almost every road and street in my district, which have no shoulders and often high curbs and dense vegetation. Riding against traffic also happens to be illegal, as bikes are required to obey the same traffic laws as motorized vehicles. Not all laws reflect common sense, but these sure as hell do.
