    If anything, the fact that cars are more likely to injure another road user than their occupants, is even more reason that they should come to a complete stop, moreso than any other road user.

      The rules and laws around using roads are designed without consideration for the type of vehicle using it. Everyone needs to stop at stop signs and red lights.

        That’s demonstrably false. Bikes are treated differently from cars in many regards. See: bike lanes, green “bike boxes” at intersections, rules for passing, highway access, etc. Why not the “Idaho stop”?
