Of course you don't give up, you wouldn't be riding a bike if you did.
Did you say blame? no, you didn't and nor did I mean to suggest you had. That comment was about other posters to this site that seem to have that attitude and an explanation (partial) of where I came at your post from.
As to luck, what if the vehicle had approached at speed between checks? OK I wasn't there and don't know the full story but what if you too had been distracted by something else.
As to your final paragraph, we agree as long as you allow for the bikers also being human, which you seem to.
