Imagine that a person is biking around with a 5'x5' metal plate attached to the front of their bike. It comes up to their chin, but don't worry, they can see great because they're so high up!
Now imagine that they hit someone.
Immediately everyone says: you couldn't see, how irresponsible, this is your fault.
Now imagine someone is wearing the rest of a pickup truck, not just the front, and they hit someone. Everyone shrugs, agrees they came out of nowhere, nothing could have been done.
