So if someone breaks the law and behaves aggressively, we only mention it because we're jealous?
No, but it adds to people's irritation. 'You've already go all these advantages over us, now you want to elbow your way even further ahead by breaking the rules!' Rubbing our noses in it, or rubbing salt into the wounds - that's the feeling in many cases, I suggest.

You're also forgetting the fact that when people aren't on bikes or in cars they are also pedestrians.
Indeed, but perceptions change. If I'm waiting for a bus on Dartmouth Road, they never come; if I'm driving along Dartmouth Road, it's jammed with buses. If as a pedestrian I want to cross a busy road, I look for a gap in the traffic and cunningly nip across; if I'm driving in slow-moving traffic, I curse pedestrians who suddenly jump out from the pavement in front of me.
