Drivers often characterize bicyclists as habitual traffic rule breakers and use this to justify giving them lower priority and status on the roads. It would be nice to quantitatively know how often bicyclists break rules, what kinds of rules they break, how unsafe do breaking these rules make things for them and others, etc. But this also needs to be done for car drivers so that a comparative analysis can be done. My hypothesis would be that bicyclists and car drivers break rules a similar amount but that bicyclists break rules to ensure their personal safety in many of the cases whereas car drivers break rules more often for personal convenience.
