If I was on my bicycle in my car in front of you on a narrow busy 30 MPH road and we came up to a red light and ran it, how would that negatively affect you?

It is entirely possible that by running the red light I not only enhance my safety by not having potentially impatient and aggravated motorists trying to pass me after the light turns green, but it would also make it better for you in that you wouldn't be stuck behind me.
Would that make any difference?

Am I the car at the front or the one coming up behind?

Answer honestly, in your opinion, what percentage of bicyclists come up a complete stop at a stop sign? Maybe 5%?
Do YOU come to complete stops at stop signs?

I am the same irrespective of my mode of transportation. I rarely come to a complete stop when there is no cross traffic coming.

This is very normal behavior for motorists based on my observations.
