It is worth also mentioning that the offence of 'causing injury by wanton
or furious driving', also now carries the 'aggravating factor' of the
victim being a vulnerable road user, such as a pedestrian.

This is the offence under which cyclists involved in crashes where a
pedestrian is killed or injured can face prosecution, suggesting that in
such cases the pedestrian's status as a vulnerable road user would be
viewed as an aggravating factor and possibly contribute to a more severe
sentence. The current maximum sentence for such offences is two years
imprisonment.

"The whole framework for road traffic offences needs to be looked at and
reconsidered"

Yes, it certainly does - cyclists are currently getting far too lenient
treatment from the law as it stands, with a maximum of two years in prison
for killing a pedestrian - a sentence that seems yet to be passed despite
the cavalier attitude of the unremorseful cyclist.
