More thoughts while standing at a bus stop

Where I wait for the 302 bus is almost opposite a side turning and in clear view of a pelican crossing. It's a great opportunity to observe the raging stupidity of the car driving class.
It amazes me the number I see careering out of the side turning, one hand on the wheel, and the other with a mobile phone clamped to their ear; and, the astonishing number of motor vehicles that go through the traffic lights on red, not just changed, but clearly on red. But, explain to me, why so much huffing and puffing goes on about 'lycra louts' going through lights on bikes, when the dangerous stupidity of car drivers goes unnoticed, and unpunished? While the number of bike riders is much less, I rarely see them doing anything completely daft (or illegal) - maybe the lack of a cage makes them more safety concious - or conversely maybe a metal cage makes the car (or van) driver so removed from the environment, they just don't care!
