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

From Oliver's link on the first page:

At present, our civil compensation system for personal injury is fault based. Thus in a collision, driver error must be proven. Because the default assumption is that the driver has not contributed to the crash, their insurance company is not automatically liable for compensation. Often what will follow is a lengthy and stressful fight for compensation by the victim.

It might seem like a remote possibility, but any of us on the forum, or anywhere else for that matter, may one day be in the situation above.

By lobbying for a change to the law we are:

1. Helping protect cyclists
   
2. Creating a shift in culture, whereby cyclists are viewed as having rights on the road
   
3. Bringing the media's attention to the matter in a positive light.
   
   

With respect to your points Lynx, the more we bang on about hand guns and tea cosies the less gets done.
