In Dhanoya v. Stephens, 2019 BCSC 723, Justice Dillon dealt with a very similar case involving a bicycle/vehicle accident. The plaintiff, who had been riding his bicycle on the sidewalk, entered the crosswalk on his bicycle without looking for vehicles. The defendant, who intended to drive through that road, saw the plaintiff and braked to avoid the collision. The defendant said that, since the plaintiff “came right out in front of him without stopping”, he did not have sufficient opportunity to avoid the accident (paras. 2-13).
