Absolutely agree with that. But that is applying criminal sanctions to driving behavior, usually before a jury.

Although I just read the Standard's coverage in the link above and the Judge said he wasn't riding like a cunt... kinda on the fence now.
Don't civil claims have a lower standard of evidence for culpability tho?

but why if they are both responsible (which from what they say in the articles is crap anyway) is the cyclist the one having to pay compensation? surely natural justice is a slap on the wrists for both of them.
Maybe the Ped just had a cracking lawyer.
