Thank you for posting that Simon, it's yet another nail in the coffin of
the concept of "innocent until proven guilty" (and I say that as a
weekday cyclist and a weekend motorist).

If you want my 2 Euros worth, they're both as bad as one another and the
concept that one is automatically presumed guilty in the event of an
incident, irrespective of facts, is a joke.


Agreed.
If I cocked up on my bike and a car hit me through no fault of their own, I
would hold my hand up and admit I was at fault.
As a driver myself I would hate to have the blame pinned on me automatically
and in reality I can't see that directive ever becoming taken up in the UK.
Holland perhaps, but not here.

Blimey, I agree with you!

What is happening?
