This is a question B3TA fixes the world

Moon Monkey says: Turn into Jeremy Clarkson for a moment, and tell us about the things that are so obviously wrong with the world, and how they should be fixed. Extra points for ludicrous over-simplification, blatant mis-representation, and humourous knob-gags.

True.
I'll let you have that exception!

Although
Deaths to other road users due to cyclists run at about 1-2 every year. So the risk to others is tiny (not sure about statistics for injury).

This isn't to say that rule-breaking and inconsiderate cyclists shouldn't be punished, of course they should. But let's not mix up our feeling of frustration and annoyance with an actual accurate perception of risk.

statistics don't tell the whole story
How about all the accidents indirectly caused by cyclists acting like the road is there own personal cycle path

You mean...
...motorists swerving to avoid a cyclist and hitting somebody else? It's possible, but I've never heard of it actually happening. Like having a cuntish cyclist cut through pedestrians on a crossing, I suspect that the perceived risk is much higher than the actual risk.

As opposed...
... to the motorists who run pedestrians and cyclists down because they were treating the road as their own personal motorway?

Oh wait, I forgot... Drivers never act like they own the road, only cyclists do that!
