this is why you watch out for cyclist in the Netherlands, as it is always your "fault" as a driver if you hit a bicycle.
- tdons 6y agoYou primarily watch out because you don't want to kill someone else.
- lmm 6y agoSo are people in the Netherlands inherently much more caring than people in the US? Or do people, consciously or otherwise, actually care a lot more about monetary liability than causing the deaths of others?
- tdons 6y agoI refuse to believe that people care more about the monetary and legal consequences of killing another person than the moral aspect. Hypothesis: Dutch drivers are more careful around cyclists primarily because everyone rides a bicycle themselves. Knowing what it's like riding a bicycle in heavy traffic makes you a more careful driver.
