The last time I read the stats for the London, UK, the number of cyclists seen jumping red lights was in the single digits of all cyclists counted and motorists accounted for 95% of total red light infractions.
What is immediately evident is that the less protections you have around you and the more you can go fast (if you can, you will), the more fatality rate is high.
The idea that if we could only move by bike there would be less accident is a false one
There would be less accidents for sure, because only a tiny fraction of the actual driver's population would go by bike.
But they would probably start falling from horses or have carriage accidents
> Bikes are safe. Cars are unsafe because they often kill other road users. You have them confused.
knifes kill people too
but I'm sure you use them
Guns kill people too, but they love them in the US, they love them so much that they put them in the hands of kids and let them go the school to shoot other kids
Cars are not unsafe, people driving them are.
It's the same people that ride bikes.
You have them confused.
As Conan's father said:
"No one in this world can you trust. Not men, not women, not beasts."
Now we should make a proportion with the total number of users
I suspect cyclists jump red lights a lot more per capita
But I can't say it for sure, not knowing the actual numbers
