How about an "enforce the road laws that are supposed to be enforced in the first place" zone? Then once we no longer see amber gambling, speeding, driving while using mobiles, careless driving, dangerous driving, driving non-legal cars and lorries, driving without insurance, etc etc, we can see if we also need additional legal controls on cyclists.
There are c30 deaths a week on UK roads and very few are cyclists. Focussing on cyclist behaviour might have some improvement on the cyclist death rate but it won't do anything for the overall death rate. Focusing on driver behavior would help everyone.

Driver behaviour is all. It needs to improve. If it's impossible to enforce, slow them down with road design when they are around people.
