I agree to an extent. People on bikes tend to believe that normal traffic laws don't apply to them, and I think it's largely due to ignorance of said laws. There have been many times that I've cringed while driving through New Orleans because someone on a bike decided to enter an intersection during a red light. Making it worse is that the city is old by American standards, and the streets weren't designed for multiple cars driving down the road at the same time, much less the addition of streetside parking because virtually everyone here owns a car and many homes don't have driveways.
