I don't think Harry was excusing the MV driver's violation in any way.
The way I read it, he was simply saying that we (whether as bicyclist,
as pedestrian, or as MV driver) need to be alert/aware/careful and not
assume anything about the behaviour of other users of the road.

(I'm also not clear on why the bicyclist's age should be relevant to
this discussion, whether 57 or 17.)
