Hypothetical law change? Lorry on bike: lorry's fault. Bike on ped: bike's fault

I agree, I think you'll find it wasn't I who brought trains and planes into the argument.

...you're trying to say the reason it's nicer to cycle in France/Holland is because the motorists are always seen to be at fault? Seriously?

hey have a different attitude to bikes and I believe (as do others) that Strict Liability plays a part in this.

They seem to cope with this.

At worst it means they have to carry cameras etc to prove they weren't at fault despite the fact they would be liable in a court

• which is the opposite to what we have to do now. When there are incidents involving cyclists the driver will be the one looking for witnesses rather than the cyclist.
  
  

Cameras: This is easy for them, they have power easily available and don't have to go for waterproof systems.

it's just changing the balance round to protect the vulnerable from inattention.
AKA Responsibility for Actions.

yes, it's that simple. We need to watch for pedestrians, bikes + cars + lorries need to watch for pedestrians and us. no biggy. I ride + drive and am happy with this change.
