I'll go against the flow here and say that bikes and cars are different. Bikes aren't allowed on the highways, bikes aren't allowed to ride in the center of the lane if there's space on the shoulder, and bicyclists don't need driver's licenses. Personally, I don't think it's fair that an infraction while cycling counts against one's driving record, but the law is what it is. I try to stay out of trouble in any case, but I don't agree that cycling and driving are equal.
