I understand your assumptions, Serge, but, unfortunately, I don't believe it would make cyclists safer. It might "possibly" give the police a reason to hold drivers more accountable for the same number of accidents, if the police would actually blame the drivers. They don't seem to want to blame the drivers now with those laws in place(without a bike lane), so I don't think it would change.
It seems the difference in our views is that my views of drivers and law enforcement are pretty "jaded".
