You can't blame this on police, the law is just almost impossible to enforce.

It’s possible to enforce. Danbrotherston posted an article from CBC Ottawa explaining that bicycle police there had been outfitted with devices which detected when a car passed within one meter. I wonder how many charges they are laying with those.
