That law is still in effect, Niek.
It's only been slightly ammended in that the car operator is no longer automatically criminally liable if a pedestrian or cyclist gets hurt, only financially (which really only matters if the pedestrian or cyclist dies).


Another change was introduced after a drunken cyclist ran into a parked car. Under the original rule the car owner (even though his car was parked, he was not in it, and the car was parked correctly) was legally guilty of having caused the accident (despite the cyclist having been stone drunk and didn't carry lights).
That situation was corrected, now the law only applies to cars in motion at the time of the accident.
As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.
