Drivers 'should always be blamed for cycle crashes'

Agree. As long as the drivers are at fault.
Those who travel in cars are also peopleand their lives are not of lesser value and also worth saving.
It's about how you send the message. **Shouting Drivers 'should always be blamed for cycle crashes' **is just so wrong on many levels - it's like giving a licence to kill to some idiots who happened to ride a bicycle. The rules are there and all the users of public roads should adhere to them - either drivers, pedestrians or cyclists.

I don't think this line was in the draft proposal.

If the rules are set at opposition to the safety of vulnerable road users then why should rigid adherence to them be expected?
