Making It Easier To Prosecute
Aside from enacting friendlier laws, I would love it for every state to make it easier to prosecute existing ones. In the United Kingdom a cyclist can get a motorist cited merely by sending the police video of an infraction. So long as the plate and driver's face are clearly visible, issuing a citation is very easy and typically results in fines of several hundred pounds. I don't know of a state in the US where it's that easy. Typically, if no collision occurs, an officer has to witness the violation. Otherwise, you have to get hit for law enforcement to do anything. If there are any lawyers who frequent this subforum, I'd like to know why we don't use the UK's model and why it's so hard to change our existing one.
