I suppose if you're cycling around in the dead of night on a full black bike with all black clothes and no lights and you get hit by a car, it sort of is your own fault. If you get hit by a car riding a normal bike, wearing normal clothes, without a reflective ankle bracelet in the day time it's the driver's fault.
It would be hard to legislate that, really, so I suppose a law with some wiggle room is the best way to deal with it.

What about drivers looking and having their headlights on?

The point of liability is that it isn't binary.

The level of my responsibility for a given accident could therefore be altered by whether I was
wearing a reflective ankle bracelet. Great.
