You are just envious.

I make sure not to put other people in danger: when running red lights, I make absolutely sure no one is coming, so no one has to brake hard or even get excited about avoiding me. Doing it that way - no harm done.

Cyclists fault he cut between two cars, sorry mate did not see you. Was advised if he took him to court he would win his case but to actually get anything out of the cyclist would prove to be very difficult.
Really is time they were forced to carry insurance and it should be like a tax disc , clearly displayed.
Yup, I once hit a truck - put my arm to cushion the blow and this happened:
Still paying damages - 10c of every post I make on bike forums goes to the poor lady driving the truck.
Apart from that - bicycle is cheap, free almost and should remain such.
Most things done in a hurry need to be done again - patiently.
