Adopt a law of Presumed Liability to protect vulnerable road users
Adopt presumed liability as we see in other European countries, where the larger vehicle is presumed to be liable for collisions, to help protect vulnerable road users.
A law of presumed liability would establish a clear hierarchy of who is initially liable (and has the burdon of proof) in a road traffic accident/incident to both raise awareness and prevent vehicles being used in acts of aggression.
The vast majority of countries in Europe adopt presumed liability legislation and given the increase in cycling following Covid we should make roads safer for the vulnerable.
