Sorry you had to fork out Andy - I don't think you're tarring cyclists with the same brush. There are some fools riding about who give the rest of us a bad name and cause more than their fair share of accidents, sure, but at the same time there huge numbers of responsible riders who need a bit of legal protection. At least more than there is at the moment. Strict Liability doesn't automatically assume the guilt of the motorist, it just forces a decent explanation from them.
So going back to the Dutch system, the excuse of: "I didn't see them" doesn't hold water.
