I am not defending anything. Bikes and cars both roll through stop signs. Cars do it a lot more than bikes because there are a lot more cars than bikes on the roads. Whining about anyone rolling through stop signs is a waste of time. Nearly everyone does it, therefore, move on to your next topic.

My suggestion would be to make your initial statement, but leave any impertinent declaratives out of it. Nobody, but nobody likes to be told what to do.
