That's the point: we (you) can NOT leave it to the police and justice system, because time and again, the system has shown that cyclists lives have little value.
What is the difference between mowing down a peloton, arguably intentionally, and going on a murder spree with a gun? results are remarkably similar, yet one gets a slap on the wrist, and the other becomes Vlad the Impaler's offspring, and gets treated as such...
Maybe if the sidelines (us) become vocal enough, the system will open their eyes.
