Editing Strict liability (section)

===Bicycle–motor vehicle collisions===
A form of strict liability has been supported in law in the [[Cycling in the Netherlands|Netherlands]] since the early 1990s for bicycle-motor vehicle collisions.<ref name="BDstrictL">{{cite web|title=Strict liability in the Netherlands|url=http://bicycledutch.wordpress.com/2013/02/21/strict-liability-in-the-netherlands/|work=BicycleDutch website|access-date=5 December 2013|first=Mark|last=Wagenbuur|date=21 February 2013}}</ref> In a nutshell, this means that, in a collision between a car and a cyclist, the driver is deemed to be liable to pay [[damages]] and his insurer (motor vehicle insurance is mandatory in the Netherlands, while cyclist insurance is not) must pay the full damages, as long as 1) the collision was ''unintentional'' (i.e. neither party, motorist or cyclist, intentionally crashed into the other), and 2) the cyclist was not in error in some way.<ref name="BDstrictL" /> Even if a cyclist made an error, ''as long as the collision was still unintentional'', the motorist's insurance must still pay half of the damages. This does not apply if the cyclist is under 14 years of age, in which case the motorist must pay full damages.<ref name="BDstrictL" /> If it can be proved that a cyclist ''intended'' to collide with the car, then the cyclist must pay the damages (or their parents in the case of a minor).<ref name="BDstrictL" />
