As far as I'm concerned - the sooner cyclists are held liable for their actions when on the road in the same way all other road users are the better.
You mean like the ones driving around lethal weapons who get a slap on the wrist for killing someone? Because even ignoring that drivers aren't held liable for their actions, there's a fundamental asymmetry here. You suggest cyclists are causing danger, yet if it was just cyclists on the road nobody would be killed. It's the big metal boxes travelling at speed which introduce the danger to the roads, hence it's incumbent on their drivers to actually avoid running into other road users whatever the other road users are doing.
