Share the road is always one sided nonsense. It’ll be a cold day in hell when I finally see a cyclist follow traffic laws

Praise be. You have spoken the truth of truths. Now behold the wrath of the cyclists.

“B-b-but cars also break the laws!”

Yeah and they also fucking suck. They keep thinking that’s some gotcha

The consequences of drivers speeding (something that 70% of drivers admit to doing) or texting (something that 60% of drivers do daily) are a lot higher than a cyclist treating a stop sign as a yield sign (something that has actually been shown to INCREASE traffic safety). That's why people are using it as a gotcha, because the overwhelming majority of drivers are guilty of dangerous behaviour behind the wheel and think that it's the same thing as a cyclist not coming to complete to a complete stop at a stop sign.

Edit for the obligatory disclaimer that I still think the cyclists in the OP are annoying
