I don't understand your comment. Considering some of my other posts on this topic, I thought it was rather neutral :) . Its nice to have a black and white rule. However, there are instances where either party could be taken advantage of. (if a cyclist wants a new bike, they throw it in front of a car and claim being hit... if the cyclist is killed, there is an incentive (although sadistic imo) to not report the accident. I only mentioned it because its a different, interesting (imo) perspective on the bike/car relationship.

You say that like it's a good thing?

On a side note, in the Netherlands, if a driver hits a bicyclist, regardless of reason, the driver is 100% at fault. A bicyclist could wait for a car to come down a road, then throw themselves in front of the car, and the car is (criminally) at fault.
