Perhaps if we didn't see 99 percent of them continually doing stuff like blowing through stop signs and not waiting for traffic lights, we'd have a bit more sympathy. The arrogance and entitled attitude ("I'm helping the environmennnnnt") that comes across from this behavior, does nothing to foster positive relations.
Holy stereotypes, Batman! From reading this you'd get the impression that the smug author, who obviously counts herself as a complete saint on the road, actually believes (any) automobiles follow traffic laws. As if.
