I have cycled in France, Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands while on holidays and I all I can think is the strict liability and it's many years at work has changed the way people see using roads and making journeys. If you are driving it's ingrained that you will be liable and you don't take risks which is in contrast to here where it's engrained that a shifty lawyer will get you off of just about anything.
