Not so different from our laws. In Ontario if there is an accident involving a vehicle and a cyclist and/or pedestrian the vehicle is assumed to be at fault. If the eyes of the police at the scene there is no basis for a conviction then a charge is not laid. The onus is on the driver to prove his innocence. Kind of ass backwards from the rest of our legal system, taking into account the potential for vehicles to inflict damage.

This standard is pretty widespread around the world. I have not heard of countries that charges are laid automatically in an accident though it might exist.
