In the very least, "I didn't see the 5 1/2 X 3 X 8 foot object with a big bright headlight right in the middle of the front, reflectors front and back on the sides and a big bright tail light and more reflectors in the back", is an admission to not being able to see well enough to drive. Pull their license forever for being too blind to be allowed out on the road.

Then, hit them with exactly the same penalties that would be imposed if a biker crashed into a cage and inflicted the same damage.
