I think what you really mean by this is that you're bothered that you can't run reds in your car too. I certainly know that the thing that bothers me about cyclists running reds isn't that I can't do it in my car. It's both that it's dangerous and that they should follow the same rules everyone else should follow. What really sucks is that even if a cyclist blatantly runs a red and cruises right out into a busy intersection, the poor driver that ends up hitting them is the one in big trouble for hitting the cyclist.
