I'm not so sure that driving without looking is a great approach, even though you have the right of way. Also consider, in most jurisdictions, an accident is the fault of the last person who had a reasonable chance to avoid it. And even if you get by that legal hurdle, how would you feel if you killed a cyclist because you "weren't even looking"?
