In the Netherlands, children under 14 years old are given extra legal protection. If a child under 14 is involved in a traffic accident, the driver of the car, motorcycle, or moped is always fully liable for all resulting damage.

This means that the driver must compensate 100% of the damages, regardless of whether the child made a traffic mistake.

The purpose of this rule is to prevent unfair disadvantage to young children who may not yet fully grasp traffic risks, such as crossing against a red light.

For children aged 14 or older, liability is assessed based on the specific circumstances and the conduct of both parties.

Even in these cases, the driver of the motor vehicle, bicycle, or moped typically bears the greater share of liability.

In practice, the injured cyclist or pedestrian usually receives at least 50% compensation, even if they were partially at fault.
