Where I live, half of drivers are looking down at their cell phones. Barely anyone comes to a complete stop for stop signs or even right turns on red at intersections. No one stops for pedestrians at unmarked crosswalks (legally a requirement here). The majority of drivers exceed posted speed limits some of the time.
What I'm saying is: tons of people commit varying severity traffic infractions all the time. If you think this is something exclusive to cyclists, that is more likely your own confirmation bias. There are a lot more drivers, and a 2-ton vehicle does a lot more damage to other road users than a cyclist, so the ultimate risk/damage to society is virtually entirely from drivers.
