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

Lynx - Read the highlighted point. I agree that you should be innocent until proven guilty, but it appears that the law will not change in this case.

Alot of what has been written on the forum regarding incidents is that not enough effort has gone into apportioning blame (or atleast trying to), to me (IMO) this looks like a lack of effort from the police (generalisation?). If this proposed change makes them and others stop and think and possibly even act differently then it is a positive change, and one which we should actively encourage.

I fear that your point about the police is correct, I fear that having the automatic liability for medical costs will affect insurance premiums, which gets me, but not actual change attitude to other road users. Yes then there is the comment if they have insurance.

I also fear that this will cause more people to drive off and leave the scene of accidents.

I believe we should take the rage out of road use and make people more polite to each other. But have no idea how, I try by say good morning and hello to people and trying to have a smile for everyone. But people think I am a loon.
