I’m all for the new distracted driving laws. They just need to apply to all. Twice last summer, while cycling, I was almost t-boned by a distracted cyclist. I also walk a lot in the summer and am constantly having close encounters with distracted cyclists riding on the sidewalk.
No, they don't need to apply to all. You are arguing a false equivalence. The potential for damage in a car is very high. The potential for damage on a cycle is moderate. I think you're right that rules around distracted cycling would be beneficial, but I do not at all agree with your assertion that they should be identical.
