Exactly what are you going to do with such a database? Are we going to start riding our bikes, looking out for a blue Dodge Neon with Va. license plate YBR-2894? Of use to law enforcement? Heresay. 14 rabid cyclists put in unverifyable information when "one of our own" is offended by a close call, and the cops give the guy a ticket for being an ass-clown? Or are we supposed to make sure we get "photographic evidence" of each infraction so that we can prove it's valid? You want to try that when you've been run off the road? Or did you get "run off the road" because you were fiddling around with your camera, just in case you have someone pass by too close?

Why not just ride your bike, watch your back, and enjoy yourself? If I were worried about getting information to report, I'm sure I'd have a lot more run-ins with motorists because I'd be concentrating more on that than on riding my bike safely. Get real.
