I don't stop nor slow down if a bike or pedestrian is not obeying the law, or if they are impeding my route of travel. I believe bicyclist and pedestrians should watch for vehicles more than they do, not saying that some or most don't, but there are those that don't watch for vehicles. Hopefully they know they will not win if the two collide.
If you hit anyone and it's established that you had the ability to stop, regardless of whether you had right-of-way, you will be held accountable for the crash. Having right-of-way is no justification for deliberately hitting someone... sheesh.
But how are you applying this sentiment to the conversation? Are you saying that if a bike is in the road, you will not follow the laws pertaining to safe negotiation? That's your prerogative... but, as you say, hopefully you know you will not win in court if the two collide.
