A daft ruling. It encourages folk to not care, and to do what they want knowing they can blame someone else. You've only to see today's youths crossing the road in their own sweet time when motor vehicles are using the road, instead of getting across the danger area as swiftly as possible, as previously well brought up generations were taught: to see what encouraging that brings to society.
But good to see cyclists can be given a taste of their own medicine. They risk their lives on vulnerable muscle powered contraptions taking little space so are hard to notice, then blame vehicle owners when something happens.
Folk should take responsibility for paying attention and not taking stupid risks and pass blame on to the guiltless party to make them the victims.
