If our North American laws could be closer to that of the Netherlands:
A car driver involved in injuring /killing a cyclist is deemed to be at fault first, unless the driver can prove otherwise.
I have no idea if their law allows laying charges of manslaughter (or whatever the appropriate legal term here would be).
I heard this twice:
May 2013, from a Dutch cycling education coordinator direct from the Netherlands as a speaker here in our city.
2nd time only 2 wks. ago from a Dutch-Canadian cyclist who works as a consultant and also works for the Dutch embassy in Ottawa.
