I bet this is a repost but couldn't find anything with search. Daily Heil reports on the liability to be put on 'the most powerful vehicle involved' in collisions.
Hooray! Though this is jsut a proposal by Cycling England and I doubt out courageous government'll ever bow to the car lobby.
A couple of choice quotes from the ever-balanced facist-loving rag (what I really love is these aren't even people's quotes - just polemic 'news' reporting):
"The proposal will infuriate drivers, many of whom are angered by the antics of 'Lycra louts' - cyclists who sail through red lights, go the wrong way up one-way streets and intimidate pedestrians on pavements and zebra crossings."
"The proposal by Cycling England is modelled on regulations in the Netherlands, Denmark, and Germany, which are heavily skewed in favour of cyclists."
