Recent months has seen the debate over cyclist and pedestrian safety ramp up in intensity, with the issue of how best to safeguard the wellbeing of our most vulnerable road users emerging at the forefront of the public consciousness. A major catalyst for this has been the emergence of this Road Share campaign for stricter liability. The Scottish Government committed to explore the possibility of strict liability in the original Cycling Action Plan for Scotland but failed to give the issue adequate consideration. This has led to calls for SG to reconsider introducing a system of stricter liability to Scotland, a view backed by a number of MSPs across all parties as well as other outside groups. A new steering group on stricter liability is being set up. This group will comprise key representatives from the world of active travel and will provide a forum for discussion and a platform for debate while working towards the production of a common position on stricter liability.
