I suspect close passing will be perceived as 'No crime' after today's news item...

Probably; though driving without due care is a crime, unless it is directly witnessed by the police there is no chance of a prosecution.

Since we won't pay more for a better service we should expect to get what we pay for.

Has it ever been an option? 'We' as a nation or 'we' as bicyclists?

Perhaps we could organise our own vigilantes to look after us (crowdfunded)? (a bit like those "Guardians of the London Underground" - whatever happened to them??)

We could call them Chain Gangs.

It'll never catch on.

You could give them distinctive clothing and call them Targets.
