If they can prove the driver was speeding, it will end up 50/50. I've seen it, a particularly vicious crash where a halfton was going ~ 130 and t-boned a car on the transcanada. Had he been going the limit he would have avoided the crash. The cops have to put the effort into the investigation though, and unless someone is hurt bad or killed they rarely do.
This whole thread kinda has my goat, I ride a bike and here all the time how we are such a hazard, particularly because of how fast we apparently go, now I'm reading all the arguments that speed is just fine.
I get what everyone's trying to say, and for the most part I get it. I get on the gas from time to time as well, but I know that if I'm breaking the rules I better be on the lookout. It's not at all fair to blame other drivers when I'm the one acting outside of the rules.
There's a responsible way to be irresponsible?
