Would it be technically and legally possible for TfL to introduce a clause in contracts with bus operators placing a duty of care on their drivers and making the operators strictly liable for collisions with pedestrians or cyclists unless they can prove the pedestrian or cyclist was at fault, as remains the case in many other European countries? Please comment on the possibility, not whether you are in favour of such a clause.
