Ah, I see - you're laboring under the false impression that driving a car makes you more special than someone on a bike. But what you accept and what the law accepts are at complete odds. And the law's going to win until it's changed. Until that happens, you're still being inconsiderate and dangerous.

In other words, your opinion of the way the world should work has little to do with the way that it does.
