Drivers 'should always be blamed for cycle crashes'

Whether or not it's polarising, cyclists are dying under the wheels of more powerful vehicles. Not vice versa.

If you are referring to my post, then I was just suggesting that more extreme rules/conditions tend to lead to a wider spectrum of behavior. This could lead to more accidents.

An example of a negative result would be when I nearly gave my 3yo whiplash. I was driving home from a shopping trip when a cyclist on the path crossed a zebra crossing in front of me, without slowing or giving any warning. I'm happy to say that I reacted instantly. The fact is though, had I hit this cyclist, it would have been deemed my fault. This, and the fact that I had to listen to my son sobbing in the back untill I could stop, did not help me feel pity for 'the more vunrable party'.

Absolving people of personal responibility is a dangerous game.

Although I agree totally with this.

Everything else should be secondary to saving lives.
