So, if a cyclist (the killer/injurer) runs into a pedestrian (the vulnerable victim), because the pedestrian suddenly jumped out in front of him, the cyclist would be the guilty party? -- Dave - intelligent enough to realise that a push bike, like a skateboard, is a kid's toy, not a viable form of transport. |

And hopefully never does, as the 'victim' might well be to blame, it would then be unjust to blame the other party. How can it be unjust not to blame a killer? It is not the driver who comes off worse. Usually they are untouched by the collision. The vulnerable should be spared blame because firstly they are the ones who are killed or injured and secondly because they are more vulnerable than drivers. The only reason this does not happen is pragmatic. With millions of drivers bombing around our roads few governments are willing to take on the task of properly allotting blame. A driver is in sole charge of a dangerous machine in a public place and thus should be held fully accountable for any death or injury they cause to the vulnerable who do not cause such a harm to drivers. -- .

If the person who killed is not to blame. It is not the driver who comes off worse. But he might not be to blame. Usually they are untouched by the collision. The vulnerable should be spared blame because firstly they are the ones who are killed or injured Even if they are to blame? and secondly because they are more vulnerable than drivers. See above. The only reason this does not happen is pragmatic. With millions of drivers bombing around our roads few governments are willing to take on the task of properly allotting blame. As opposed to you who allways want the motorist to take the blame. A driver is in sole charge of a dangerous machine in a public place and thus should be held fully accountable So we forget about justice & his human right not to be blamed for something that is not his fault. for any death or injury they cause to the vulnerable who do not cause such a harm to drivers.
