Considering the number of recent incedents involving car-into-bicycle rear end collisions where the driver was let off with a slap on the wrist while the cyclist lays in an ICU or a morgue, I say OP is serious.

Unfortunately, the vague nature of current laws has allowed people on their phones, people sending text messages, fumbling with their mp3 players etc... to get right back on the road after injuring or killing a cyclist because their actions don't fit the official definition of "negligent." So yes, the current laws are too vague for my liking.
