A form of strict liability has been supported in law in the Netherlands since the early 1990s for bicycle-motor vehicle collisions.[5] 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 (n.b. 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.[5] 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.
