    It sounds like you are saying that if a drunk cyclist hits a pedestrian, it’s impossible for the pedestrian to get injured.

    Or if that same cyclist weaves out in to the street, a car that hits them cannot be damaged (and the driver of the car won’t be held liable even though cyclists pretty much always have the right of way vs. cars).

      Not impossible, but very very rare in practice.

      And whether the driver is liable varies around the world. Most countries require drivers not to hit dumb animals, including drunk humans.
