That's why I filter to the right at stoplights in traffic when I'm on my bike (and not in a protected lane). Too much risk of getting bumped from behind by a texting driver not looking up to see a bike, even with my clown-suit high-vis gear and flashing lights. They just don't look, and they assume that since they're going slow they won't hurt anyone (not reckoning bikes or walkers or children or whatever). I followed a texter for 3 blocks once on D street in Capitol Hill. She never looked up, drove via peripheral vision only, and almost ran into the back of a taxi. But I'm sure she was a very important person, doing critical work. Or something.
