To have something for comparison, do feel free to call out drivers for their dangerous behavior and see what response you get! In my experience they get bent out of shape.
Regardless, the fact of the matter is that people break the law at about the same rate whether they are driving or biking.
However, responsibility scales with power. Car crashes literally directly cause around 40,000 deaths per year, millions of serious injuries and hundreds of billions of dollars in economic damages. Trying to compare this massive devastation to a class of road users who kill zero people each year is ignorant at best and disingenuous at worst.
Don’t be an Arse.
Who is being an arse and in which way???
Tell the cyclists they need to over the rules too. Very few of them do and get bent out of shape when you call them on it.
Drivers at least pass a test , cyclists don’t
You are letting your bias cloud your thinking 🤷
