That's good. Cyclists need protection from the law, including a presumption that the motorist is at fault in ANY collision between cyclists and cars.
Speaking as a pedestrian, a cyclist and a driver, I think you're being extremely flippant.
There are some really tragically bad cyclists around and
sometimes it is the cyclist's fault when there's an incident. But there are lot more tragically bad, impatient, inconsiderate drivers around and more often than not it is the driver's fault.
That said changing the rules doesn't change anything until someone get's prosecuted. It's still illegal for cyclists to ride on footpaths, illegal for cyclists not to have reflectors or lights at night, and so many break these laws it's ridiculous. If someone who is riding at night without lights or reflectors was involved in an incident, for example, I'd have no hesitation in letting them take the full blame. If a cyclist is riding along the footpath and invites themselves across the road without looking properly and gets hit, same deal...but if a cyclist is involved in an incident because a driver is too impatient to wait for an opportunity to overtake properly, or too incapable to slow down enough for a corner to take account of potential hazards, or fails to check whether it's sensible to open their door, then I'll be right behind in support of that cyclist.
It's also still illegal to use an electric scooter except in limited circumstances in four cities, but that doesn't stop people and the police never seem to bother enforcing the law.
