It's a question of who is worse. The selective view you advocate is misleading. Many cyclists run red lights in the US. But not all. Many cyclists like myself are 100% opposed to running red lights. In contrast, the vast majority of drivers I have asked admit to regularly speeding. And I see drivers run red lights regularly as well; every time I have seen a driver run a red light that I can think of was more dangerous than any time I can recall a cyclist running a red light. Add on top of that the distracted and drunk driving, neither of which are seen much at all from cyclists. Add to all that all the unsafe passes drivers make. All of these are done in part if not largely out of impatience. Drivers seem much worse on average to me. Apparently some cyclists running red lights is something which is unforgivable for all cyclists, but some drivers speeding can easily be brushed off. The double standard is clear.
