Every time I’ve been hit by a car, it’s been when I’ve had the right of way. You have to be super defensive as a pedestrian because you can be thoroughly solidly right and follow all the rules… and still end up dead.
I’ve been hit by cars twice and hit a car once and every time I’ve had the right of way. Tho I was on a bike, it just happens if you spend enough time in traffic I think.
I didn’t really get injured on either of these, 2 bikes got destroyed tho.
I have tbf gone down pretty hard trying to overtake other cyclists which is also traffic but there it was certainly my own fault.
It’s how I learnt to use the words. “Twice as much” or “twice as many” = 2x, “twice more than” is +2. It’s less than perfectly standard, but it’s unambiguous in English as I was taught

How many times have you been hit by a car? To be hit once is a lot.
Not your parent comenter.

Twice more than I would have liked to.
Very fortunate nobody was hurt
0 x 2 = 0
Twice more is plus two, not times two
I’ve never seen ‘twice’ used like that, do you have a link to back that up? If I search “twice more” on the web, I get zero results.
