Like I said, Oliver, it's just a thought. I don't say I'm right.
You see, I'm driving a lot recently and there's no law which will make me perceive cyclists/pedestrians in a different way.
I'm just afraid, that the idea of drivers having to prove their innocence can further antagonise some of them (until they get used to the new laws, that is). Also, it could lead to car lobbyists to force some kind of cycling proficiency tests before you are allowed on road to make it fair (when the both sides accpet their responsibilities as road users). But they are just thoughts...
And what lynx said, it's actually a good idea for starters.
