Drivers will always be given the benefit of the doubt in collisions. Any driver who believes they are a victim is not seeing the way things really work. Just look at the driver who killed the cyclist on King St. they say "well it was dark, and the cyclist (may) have been wearing dark clothing"...."oh, well that's okay then, no charges" say the police.
I'm of the opinion that if you are involved in a collision it should be up to you prove, not only that you aren't at fault, but that you took every possible precaution to prevent that collision. And I'm not saying that criminal charges should be the result, but if you cannot prove that the collision was unavoidable, you should lose your license with (depending on the situation) the option of re-applying and going through driver training again.
