Default "Death-by-dangerous-cycling law considered"

Presumably this means they won't be punished at all, or they will
issued
with derisory fines and short bans, just like motorists.

"Cyclists who kill or seriously hurt pedestrians could be prosecuted
like dangerous drivers under new laws being considered by the
government.

Drivers convicted of death by dangerous driving face up to 14 years in
jail.

But there is currently no law against causing death by dangerous
cycling, with most cases of careless cycling being dealt with by
fines..."
