I get annoyed as hell when i see people plow through red lights on the route i ride, 3 lane high way isn't the safest road to blow through lights on when the speeds can be as high as 65+
I'm with you - how can we expect car drivers to respect us as vehicles with equal rights to the road, if we don't obey the laws at least as much as they do. Not that cars always obey traffic lights, but there are days when I think I'm the only person on a bike who stops at red lights.
