That accident was your fault because you're in a car
#1
From the BBC News website:
"Motorists involved in road accidents which are not their fault may still lose their no claims bonus under new proposals to shake up insurance laws.
Plans drawn up by Brussels mean car drivers would automatically take the rap in any accident, regardless of who was really to blame."
And people are wittering on about Rik Mayall appearing as Hitler being offensive to modern democracy...

"It could mean pedestrians and cyclists receive compensation, even if they were the cause of the accident."

The EU have got it right - motorists should be responsible - they are the cause of more than 3,500 deaths each year in the UK, and a change in the way their insurance is set up might encourage them to drive more responsibly - cutting their speed for example. Research shows 66% of drivers admit they speed, and that speed is a cause in the majority of road crashes.

Sounds like more money making for lawyers. You lose your no claims bonus even though it wasn't your fault, so you sue the person who was at fault, thereby earning solicitors a fat pile of cash in the process.
This one has to top the "straight bananas" ballcocks that came out of Europe a few years ago. Are these lot on this planet
