The problem is not cyclists, or car drivers, or van drivers, or lorry drivers, or pedestrians - it's people.

There are stupid people everywhere on the roads and they're not restricted in their choice of transportation.

As for following the rules as a cyclist, well this is sometimes downright dangerous: "Shall I stay here in the cycle bay so that I can turn left and have a 50/50 chance of being crushed to death by this lorry, or shall I stay alive and run the light as I can see there's nothing coming...hmmmm"

Exactly that
And if the car drivers want us to follow the rules as if we were cars, then they should give us space as if we were cars. No more overtaking in junctions when I'm going straight and you come from my right to turn left. No more crossing in front of me to go out of a roundabout. No more overtaking when there is obviously not space to do it safely. FFS!! You're losing 2 seconds in your journey and putting my life at risk!
