Serious question- if a runner/biker is out at dark in dark clothing on the roadway with no light or reflectors, someone hits them- is th driver at fault?

I don't think reflectors are really the issue here, I've never seen anyone take reflectors off of a bike. People are too busy texting to see other cars much less a runner/biker.

It would probably depend on if you were texting or talking on the phone at the time.

It depends, brah.

There is such a thing as contributory negligence and it seems to be the answer you're searching for.
