It's hard to argue that cycling is a bad thing, so what is needed is a way to make cycling more attractive. Pavements are not the way forward, but roads are too dangerous. Segregation is definitely the key, but as said above when not possible car drivers need to start obeying the highway code.
I used to ride with an extra strap hanging from my backpack, with a small metal weight on it. When this was flapping around next to me cars gave me a wider berth, because their paintwork was somehow more important than my safety. Very few gave me the legal distance regardless, but at least I got a bit more.
