As a bicyclist who follows the rules, I've almost been killed 3-4 times now by bicyclists who simply don't pay attention to stop signs or red lights, crossing straight through intersections at 40 km/h, while illegally driving on the sidewalk. I seriously hate about 60% of the bicyclists on the road, and wish traffic laws harsh enough to properly deter this behavior - deliberately ignoring a red light is a huge safety risk to everyone, and in my opinion, should carry a $3000 fine (I'm not talking about the kind where someone rushes through a yellow, and it turn's red half way through -- I'm talking about red lights that have been red for five seconds or more) Of course, cab drivers here are just as bad - I'm not really sure which I hate more.
