Pity that *all* drivers don't understand that the roads are
not there just for them to race around on.

If drivers commit an offence, they are highly likely to be apprehended.
They have registration plates.

Cyclists commit traffic offences willy nilly because they know they
won't be apprehended.

You have a curiously biased view of the world.

No I don't :-)

I see dozens of drivers committing offences every day, from speeding
to using mobile phones, with impunity. Hardly ever see a cop doing anything.

They are a minority. IME cyclists commit offences 100% of the time.

Maybe you should direct your ire at mobility scooters.

They are a necessity, not a choice.

A few days ago one came hurtling towards me, on the pavement, at about
10 mph, scattering children walking to school. I stopped her and told her
she was limited to 4 mph on the pavement. She said "I wasn't even doing
4 mph". Most are uninsured and will do real damage if they hit anything.
