This opinion piece that appears in today's NYT mentions vulnerable user laws.

An excerpt:

When two cars crash, everybody agrees that one of the two drivers may well be 
to blame; cops consider it their job to gather evidence toward that 
determination. But when a car hits a bike, it’s like there’s a collective 
cultural impulse to say, “Oh, well, accidents happen.” If your 13-year-old 
daughter bikes to school tomorrow inside a freshly painted bike lane, and a 
driver runs a stop sign and kills her and then says to the cop, “Gee, I so 
totally did not mean to do that,” that will most likely be good enough.
