A high-hooded truck or SUV is far more dangerous to the public than a small car, and a small car is more dangerous than a motorcycle, so a speeding ticket/liscense points/jail time for an SUV should be >4x more severe than a motorcycle doing the same violation, and bicycles should basically only recieve token fines.


Sadly the law often doesn’t distinguish; dui on a bicycle in most states in America can carry the same penalties. In Japan, it can be 3 years in prison. The judge and cops often realize how absurd this is and apply leniency, but even that gets limited by minimum sentences designed to stop repeat DUI offenders from endangering the public in a car.
I have sympathy for an addict who makes the responsible decision to stop driving a car after getting a DUI, but then gets punished just as if they had kept endangering the public for riding a bicycle.
