Well this is it. The law as it stands is actually perfectly adequate, but juries won't convict on dangerous driving charges, and as a result, the CPS are reluctant to press them. It's a vicious circle.
Roadcc has, every week, video evidence of what should be prima facie, open and shut cases of, at the very least, careless driving. Very rarely will a police force even investigate.

Numbers of magistrates are in steep decline, leading to a new recruitment drive. The more cyclists that sign up can only have a beneficial affect.

Except magistrates aren't legally trained and juries don't convict motorists. Otherwise great
