In the Netherlands, it goes as following:

- Car drivers' fault? -> Insurance of car driver pays

- Cyclist' fault?

1. Cyclist younger then 14? It's the car drivers' fault. In any case. Drivers should expect younger cyclists to behave unexpected.

2. Bicycle driver older then 14? 50% of damage is drivers' fault. Unless cyclist does reckless things the car driver cannot anticipate on (e.g. cycling through red traffic light over a busy intersection where drivers drive fast).

- Car driver & cyclist made mistakes? -> Cyclist is able to get more then 50% of damages depending on the situation.
