Notices The Scottish Parliament is considering Cycling and Road Safety. The whole document can be seen here. However what follows is just one item:- Liability
Issues The British Parliament turned this down in 2006. The argument put forward by the motoring fraternity was that the law in this country held that someone was always innocent until proved guilty. However in most "road accidents" the victim has no way of proving the vehicle driver guilty and so the vast majority of "accidents" due to inappropriate driving go unpunished. The result for the victim can be totally life changing, for the motorists it means the possibility of them losing their No Claims Bonus. Why should Cyclists' Safety be of so little importance in this country? Let us hope Scotland leads the way in bringing Britain in line with Europe. -----------------------------------------------------------------------
