Cyclists breaking the laws should get cited for their infractions, if law officers observe them. This is all too rare, and should be more aggressively pursued by them. As far as motorists getting cited for hitting cyclists, most of those accidents that I have seen in our news outlets usually claim that the motorist violated a specific law. If one breaks the law, and causes serious property damage and bodily injury, one should expect serious consequences to follow.
