also its a matter of responsibility
cars jumping red lights have huge potential to hurt others, cyclists will tend to mainly hurt themselves if they fuck this up (though of course they may scratch/dent a car and also traumatise the driver)
this is exactly why boris is contemplating allowing left turns at red lights, its about level of risk incurred
