this is typical media hype. the law (in germany at least) assumes that given equal responsiblity for a collision, the motorist is to be found at fault. if a bike breaks the law (by running a red light, for example) it's clearly not a case of equal responsibility.
it is a very very effective law that means many fewer cyclist deaths and injuries, and makes for a rather nice riding environment for cyclists.
