• This would only make sense if morally speaking car speeding = cycle RLJing.

    This isn't to defend RLJ, rather to point out speeding motorists kill and maim every single day, RLJ cyclists injure peds on a yearly frequency and never harm motorists. The two offences are not equivalent and hence efforts to defend one or the other are also not equivalent.

    A cyclist going through a windshield at 30 mph when the car bonnet takes the bike out from under them is going to harm everyone involved. Let alone the possibility of vehicles veering off the road or into other road users while avoiding the obstacle.

    Yes, empirically it's clear more harm is done by motorists than cyclists but that's not going to change anyone's attitude. The risk of injury is similar. Cyclists RLJ blatantly. Drivers will give no quarter.
