In the Netherlands (as I understand it) the assumed-at-fault party in any crash is the one with the heavier weight-class vehicle. So a semi is assumed at faul over a truck, that’s assumed at fault over a sedan, over a motorcycle over an e-bike, over a bicycle, over a pedestrian. Or something along those lines.

Always seemed like a reasonable policy to me. The people operating heavier vehicles have a higher inherent responsibility to operate them safely.
