Great article on why drivers call the kettle black when they complain about bicyclists break road-laws. I found interesting the distinction between running a red light and jaywalking/riding:
Let's talk about red-light running. There are two types of red-light running. "Catching an orange" - or running the start of a red light - which every class of users does. And jaywalking or jaybiking - waiting for the intersection to clear and then crossing against the light - which only pedestrians and cyclists do.
Also, covers interesting analysis of why there isn't such a thing as jaydriving. Though, as I commented, in my hometown it was pretty common to drive through a red light, late at night.
