I know what they think is the answer, that it would disrupt their pace. But, saying that they observe all laws, means, ALL LAWS.
Kinda like saying why do cars roll thru stop signs without stopping. Or why do golf carts roll thru stop signs, why do people speed. Dont think you would be satisfied with any answer given. I have let everyone in this office read this thread. They all say the same thing, sounds like somebody dont like cyclist on the roads..

Better question would be, why when cyclist are in the round-a-bouts going around them, why do the cars not yield the right of way to the bikers and go thru the YIELD sign.

Again, dont think it matters what answer you want, will not be the right one. I would think the "ALL LAWS" you mean would apply to all vehicles on the road. The day that all vehicles obey ALL LAWS will be the day I could pull a rotten, nerve exposed Wisdom Tooth out of a Tyrannosaurus Rex and walk away..
