In the UK there was a move to change the law so that if there was an accident involving a car and something else, a bike or pedestrian, the assumption would always be that the car driver was at fault unless it could be proven otherwise.

They didn't decide who would be to blame if (as usually happens here) a bike decided not to bother stopping for a red light and took out a pedestrian.

*(I'm not anti bikers - I rarely encounter them anywhere but I have nearly been taken out on crossings in the city centre by them)
