    Because you're breaking the law.

    If fact, you're breaking the law in a manner that results in multiple road deaths each year. Speeding by motorists is one of the top three causes of road deaths. Red light jumping by cyclists isn't.

    Isn't it a tad hypocritical to be jumping up and down about cyclists breaking red lights given that you're breaking the speed limit on every journey?

    So you're basically saying that anyone who breaks the law, even unintentionally, has no say about others who break the law.

    So by your logic anyone who has ever unintentionally exceeded the speed limit while driving (which I'm going to guess is pretty much everyone that drives at some point or other) is as bad as those motorists that routinely and deliberately ignore speed limits, stop signs, traffic lights, etc.? And presumably by the same logic jaywalking is breaking the law so anyone who has ever jaywalked is as bad as those motorists too?

    Have you ever broken any rule of the road yourself, because, brace yourself, you're going to have to take a long hard look at yourself since you are telling yourself you are as bad as "motorists that kill". And yet here you are, jumping up and down about me "breaking the speed limit on every journey" ("every journey"? Really? How do you make that out now?) when you are clearly, by your own logic, not entitled to do so.

    Perhaps we should just dissolve society, guilty as we all are of... well... EVERYTHING.
    I don't recall anything in traffic law about the intention being significant.

    If I unintentionally break a red light by not paying enough attention to it, will I escape your ire?
