I admit not obeying traffic rules all the time when cycling. When I break rules I do so when it is safe. Often there is a choice between the rules and safety. Some bike lanes are unsafe and need to be avoided. Sometimes I break rules in the interest of conserving momentum, because building speed takes effort. I only do so when it is safe. As a cyclist I have a good view of traffic around me and I can often get off the road if necessary, which cars can’t.
I’m not going to go through the red light when there are cars passing through… That would be stupid.
The outcome is sort of the same if those kilograms break rules in front of a 2 ton brick obeying laws.
