How is texting while driving safe? How is going over the speed limit safe? How is driving too close to other cars to stop in time safe?

True, it's not even close because going over the speed limit in a car is a lot more dangerous to others.
Blowing through stoplights on a bike is very stupid, of course, but 99% of the danger is directed towards the cyclist themselves, at least.
Note that the Idaho stop, though, is quite safe.
