Practically speaking, nothing. Which is why a minority act with impunity. There’s no way of identifying them if they don’t stop, and if they do stop no requirement to have insurance. They are also no road traffic offences that they can be charged with in the situation of injury or death. Though there was one case reasonably recently where a cyclist was charged with manslaughter after killing a pedestrian. But I suspect the family were unable to sue for much in the way of compensation...he was, from memory, a teenager.
