Motorists who drive recklessly/illegally have people take down the plate number and if the authorities don't catch the car on the road, you can be sure that there will be a cop visiting the address on the registration.

To the people who advocate registrations for bike riders and pedestrians. What about some form of mark on our foreheads or hands, and anyone who does not comply will not be able to buy or sell? Then we could make sure everyone was "sharing the load"
And to those who say that the actions of some other cyclist reflect badly on all cyclists. That is just like saying that the actions of one gay/black/asian/mexican has given the entire gay/black/asian/mexican a bad name. It is prejudiced thinking and it does not help anyone.
