That will mostly create an incentive to not cycle, which is the last thing we need.

I doubt it.

Cycling is well established, but the rules around road use are insane. That won’t get fixed unless someone is getting a big bill.

I’m not sure where you live, but here in Ohio cycling is definitely not “well established”. When you compare infrastructure it’s not even a competition. Don’t want to deal with bicyclists breaking laws? Get them off the streets onto their own dedicated infrastructure. Then bicycling actually would become well established.

“Big bills” do nothing to stop drivers from breaking the laws, but go on thinking that it will change cyclists.
