Saw an accident this morning

Yep, completely true. But that was what Lynx was saying about liability - doesn't matter about the law, it's us who get the broken shit. They just get dented body panels.

I ride to make sure I don't get any broken limbs. I think that's how vulnerable road users should be. Peds at crossings should still look, just in case the motorist hasn't spotted the red light.

As an analogy, it's illegal for men to rape women. That doesn't mean that women shouldn't take sensible precaistions with their personal safety. You're not going to throw yourself into risky situatons thinking "Well, I can always prosecute him for rape afterwards". Same goes for cyclists and collisions in my book.

I agree.
