The traffic liability law gradually acquired more substrance through court judgments. In the last quarter of the 20th century, for instance, the Netherlands Supreme Court rules that in the event of a collision between a motor vehicle and a non-motor vehicle, or with a pedestrian, the motorist automatically bears 50 per cent liability. In collisions involving children up to the age of 14, the motorist's liability rises to 100 per cent, regardless of the degree of responsibility of the victim. That is the rule today.
