These cases prove time and time again that Britain needs continental-style stricter liability laws that put the onus firmly on the drivers to prove they were not at fault. Even though they affect civil liability only they have a remarkable effect on the behaviour of drivers on the continent towards cyclists and motorcyclists.
If BC, The Times, CTC, LCC and all the others campaigned with a cohesive and achievable demand like this it would be very difficult to stop it. Instead it seems like we have a load of disparate organisations effectively saying "what do we want - erm, not really sure, just make it better somehow"
