• It work perfectly well with peds here in England, the last thing a motorists want is to run a peds down and end up being prosecuted for it, especially when it could easily put their insurance premium up, points in their license, or worse, banned from driving for a certain period of time.

    Bring it on.

    YouTube- STRICT LIABILITY - Drive carefully

    • The UK is only one of four Western European countries that doesnt have 'strict liability' to protect cyclists and pedestrians.
    • Strict liability entitles a crash victim to compensation unless the driver can prove the cyclist or pedestrian was at fault.
    • Strict liability encourages more careful driving (and cycling, because a cyclist would be deemed to be at fault for crashing into a pedestrian).
    • Strict liability would be a matter of civil rather than criminal law so would not affect criminal prosecutions.

    (one of four Western European country, not just the one, whoop).
