I'd love to be able to save time on my commute by blowing through red lights on my bike (which I could probably do safely, since I can see over cars when I stand on my pedals), but it's against the law for a good reason, so I suck it up and deal. That law is only there because *cars* blowing through red lights is dangerous, but the rules of the road still apply to me. (Not all cyclists follow this. That irritates me too.)
Cars were not the first to use roads. They're a fad caused by cheap oil, and the market is slowly correcting itself. However, there is still a culture of entitlement left over, and people get real uppity when they have to share.
