If it weren't for cars, traffic wouldn't need to be so tightly controlled because the stakes would be so much lower. While I don't condone running red lights, driver rage at cyclists running red lights or pedestrians jay-walking (a term invented by the auto industry) would be far better directed at drivers who don't take the task of operating a multi-thousand pound machine at high velocities seriously.
