There is a logic to it though. On a bicycle you are mostly risking your own life, so you are likely to make good judgements about when you can break the rules. In a car, you are mostly riding other people’s lives (bicyclists and pedestrians). Different incentives.

Ah yes, I think that's a realy common behaviour. In fact, I got hit by a cyclist on an e-bike in London running a red light.

The fact that you’re here to tell is a clear sign that the impact isn’t so high as if it were a car.
Morons exist :-(
Yeah, managed to have stitches in the back of my head, but I'll not argue that I'd rather be hit by a bike than a car. If those are the only options. To be fair, the bike rider didn't exactly walk away without some bumps and bruises either.
This is made possible by the fact that cars (try to) follow traffic rules to the letter.
(Essentially every car driver in the Netherlands is also a cyclist at other times)
