Far enough, but why only give scenarios where the motorist is at fault.
Why not? It's just a proposal?

I wondered if the "If anyone cares" but of the tweet was him speculating it wouldn't get as much coverage as Wiggo or Sutton (which it hasn't, so far as I'm aware).

Looking at his tweet he seems to have a bit of a chip on his shoulder!thinking that no one cares,seems unusual from such a cycling ambassador

Well I guess Cavendish isn't Shakespeare! And he just hit a car.. Don't expect works of literature.

As for what happened,

This highlights a problem in that professional cyclists train on the open highway and are likely to be travelling at speeds in excess of those suitable for the road conditions. Cavendish was going too fast to stop. I can’t think of another sport that trains under such conditions. Unfortunately, many other cyclists try to ride like the professionals on the highway, even in highly trafficked areas, and then wonder why they come to grief.

Is as likely as any. More so than a driver trying to kill him!

With Wiggins, Sutton and then all those British men who came off at the weekend's track cycling, the ''If anybody cares.' bit suggests he's feeling left out.
