When I passed behind the car, a SUV, a child walked away from it in my
direction.
If I would have been able to see through the car, I would have seen the child coming.
Nothing happened, but if the child was running instead of walking...
Something alike happened with a recumbent bike, but since I could see
through the parked car, I saw it coming and waited until it had passed.

But the child wasn’t running, and you did see it. You can’t blame privacy glass and a lack of visibility on an incident that didn’t happen!
The point is, you drove for the conditions present and all was well, in the same way as you would have if the car had been a van, or it had been dark, or it was raining, or all of the above.

These are the sort of people that moan about cyclists not dressing from head to toe in fluorscent. Everythi g must change to suit them, because its easier to blame the victim instead of taking responsibility for ones own driving,
