Jeez if I was driving (which I do sometimes) and a cyclist gave me a flyer, I'd think they were a.) weird b.) passive aggressive (even if they handed it to me with a smile) and c.) socially awkward at best. I also think having a flyer which covered every possible transgression would be practically impossible, so it would also probably be partly inaccurate.
The opportunities to talk to a motorist don't always present themselves but when they do (it's normally when I catch them up at lights) I'm capable of politely pointing out what they did wrong and asking them not to do it again. I like to think most people would be too. It works best when you appeal to their human nature, which is difficult to do through the medium of flyer.
