There are lots of threads about this on here, jemjah, and bear in mind that it usually gets misreported. Of course, no-one is proposing to make drivers 'responsible' for all crashes. Rather, in layman's terms, the idea is that, as the vast majority of crashes is caused by motorists, they should bear the burden of proof in a crash. This sort of system works quite well elsewhere. I'm no lawyer and there are a few more things to be said about it that I don't understand, but that's the gist of it.
