why drivers always point to cyclists as bad

[Tri Girl]

Whenever someone gets started on bikes breaking the law, I always point out the one time I hit my brakes so hard and crashed in an intersection because a car ran a red light and nearly took me out (while on my bike).
I've never almost killed someone on my bike. I've almost been killed 3 times on my bike. When I break the law (which I honestly never intentionally do), I'm not going to kill someone. When someone in a car does those things, people can die.

I think it's true that you always condemn the groups you're not a part of. Human nature, I suppose.

The other day I was at a park and watched the intersection near me. I saw a number of cars roll through the intersection, illegal lane changes, speeding, and most offensive: texting while not even looking at the road.
In the grand scheme of things, I think cyclists are not the ones endangering society.

I wouldn't say that when cyclists do something illegal - noone else is going to die - if a car swerves to avoid a cyclist who does something illegal, who knows what that car will hit.

OK, that's true.
