^ This is being done. I have been involved in sessions with both RLJing cyclists and asl offenders at the City police.
However in terms of stopping this carnage the effect of this is negligible. Dammit I do not agree that we are dealing like with like when enforcing road behavior. The point having been made several times above is that people on bikes are benign, they can't really hurt anyone (other than themselves sometimes). People in motors can kill people quite easily which is why clamping down on their behaviour properly, with proper punishments for even 'minor' infractions (such as speeding slightly- 5mph difference can kill)
