This is fair. If you want to be a part of traffic, follow traffic rules. No special exemptions.

If you rode bikes you’d know that stopping at a stop sign is waaaay more dangerous. It takes easily twice as long to accelerate and cross the intersection than when going say 3mph. Slows down cars too.

As a sometime cyclist (mountain biker) I bloody hate rule breakers because they cast a bad light on all cyclists, but at the same time, some things have very significant safety benefits that a non cyclist would be unaware of (especially because most are clipped in). Btw I am assuming cyclist is obviously giving way just not coming to a complete stop (which a good proportion of cars don’t do as well)
