Road Safety Charity BRAKE
"SCID believes that presumed liability would have the added psychological effect of making drivers more aware of vulnerable road users and this has shown to be true by the reduction of children, pedestrian and cyclists' casualties in the countries where the presumed liability law is applied."
"Spokes believes that cycling (like walking) "is cheap, efficient, enjoyable, healthy, non-polluting and intrinsically safe." Unfortunately, however, this intrinsic safety is compromised by motor traffic. The ideal solution for cycling on busy roads is physical separation through protected cycleways, but changing the rules on liability to a more European model is one of several other measures which could improve safety for all on all roads. It would also give greater reassurance to pedestrians over pedestrian/cycle incidents."
"Go Bike aims to get more people cycling and better infrastructure for them to cycle on and we believe more people will cycle if road users respect each other, and behave responsibly leading to a safer environment for all. The Road Share campaign for Presumed Liability is one of the tools which will help us achieve this aim."
The Road
Share campaign has set up a steering group to take things
forward.

supporters who feel strongly about the introduction of presumed
liability and have given their support.
