Cyclists Break Far Fewer Road Rules Than Motorists, Finds New Video Study (forbes.com/sites/carltonreid)

Comparing speeding to running red-lights is about as far from scientific as it gets. The concequences of most cyclist transgressions, ancedotally, and possibly in the study, seem to be higher in most cases. It is hardly useful to note that 'fewer cyclists speed through intersections than cars', as physics already provides that answer to any thinking person.


Could you elaborate?

AFAICT Denmark has about a hundred deaths per year due to speeding cars and zero due to all kinds of cyclist transgressions. I couldn't find numbers for non-fatal consequences, but still I'm curious what you mean about higher consequences.
