Do drivers subconciously think cyclists are children?

My starting point:
* Drivers waiting at red lights sometimes beep cyclists who ride through the red light.
* Drivers waiting at red lights would never beep other drivers drive through the red light.

Why?

What is it about the driver-cyclist relationship that is different from driver-driver? Why do drivers feel they can/should "discipline" cyclists, whereas they would never "discipline" each other?

Discuss.
