I'd wager that if your average motorist is sitting a red light, and a bicycle rides up beside them and runs the light (not hindering anyone), it'll evoke much the same anger as a motorcycle passing on a double yellow and busting the speed limit.

Both are cases of a vehicle presuming that some traffic law doesn't apply to them, and both make the rest of us who do follow those laws look bad.
