@simplepeachyme You should understand that not all cyclists are breaking the law because they are disrespectful citizens wanting to spite car drivers or what not. In my city (Tally, FL) there are many intersections with sensors that never turn the light green unless a car is present. Needless to say, I've had to "run the red" on such occasions. This is not the same as blowing through a red, which is stupid and a great way to get hurt or killed, but please realize it's not so black and white.

@simplepeachyme I'm a cyclist and brake the rules offenly, but I take care, not to annoy anyone or to cause danger for me or the traffic and pedestrians.. their right and safety are on first place for me. I do it, because sometimes there is no other reason to wait on the traffic light, except - "it's red" - there are no cars, no pedestrians passin', so why cars wait? - they afraid of police, 'cause they have number plates.. Well, I don't, and "it's not fair!" is not reason enough to me! :)

Sounds like you guys suffer from militant cyclists. Yeah, those suck ... we don't have those here in Denmark, or rather, they are an extreme minority.

We teach our kids how to bicycle, and what rules they have to uphold in traffic in kindergarten and school. I guess that's the main reason people are more relaxed about the whole deal ?

Some may say that I'm just speaking about a few bad apples, but most of the cyclists I've seen do this. And it's so frustrating because if a vehicle hits them, the driver will usually end up being blamed for it when really, it's the cyclists fault for not shoulder checking or signalling their turns etc..
