Motorised transport in the UK has many tens of thousands of laws which can
be expensive and difficult to comply with (often with draconian penalties),
controlling it, and to a large extent those laws work and the average driver
obeys them.

Cycling has a tiny number of laws which are simple, cheap and sensible to
obey, yet the majority of cyclists not only ignore them, but quite
deliberately and openly flout them, and even boast about it.

It is no wonder that motorists and pedestrians are annoyed by this
behaviour.
