Drivers 'should always be blamed for cycle crashes'

in the latter case, try doing that in the Netherlands or Denmark and see if the stupid vulnerable party gets any less blame. I don't think so. Your witnesses would say 'cyclist nutter' and given a change in law this will happen IMHO and you are OK.

Fair enough. Like I said in my first post on this thread.....

This is similar to the law regarding peds (and cyclists?) here in Norway. I cant decide wether I like it or not TBH.

In principle I really dislike it, and feel that people should share the roads with caution for their own and others well being.

In really thats a load of BS, and anything that reduces accidents and there severity should be considered.
