It actually happened to me once, although I didn't hit them intentionally.
It was my first time driving in Europe during a visit.
Not very familiar with the ways in downtown (they called it 
"Centerville", I think) Paris, I hesitated at a stop light (in the left-most 
lane) finally, I made up my mind to make a left hand turn. However, there was
a biker, with his girlfriend, trying to past me in the left, the opposite
lane. The next thing I saw was watching 2 persons flying in front of my
eyes. The guy wasn't too hurt but the girl was injured pretty badly.
The police came, despite of all the communication problems, I finally
gave them my address and phone number in Canada. I have never received
any mail or call from them. Perhaps my insurance with the rental company
took car of it, perhaps they figured out it wasn't my fault.

Although I will not intentionally hit those bikers, I have no sympathy
with them. If they want to play nasty and if they are hurt, nobody is to
blame but themself.
