The people who vote "yes" really aren't thinking the question through. Bikes and cars are different vehicles, with different capabilities, different risks and different dangers. The laws applying to each should be based on common sense and not on the mechanical application of a single set of rules based on the demonstrably false notion of equivalence.
That being said, if police are going to start ticketing cyclists for violations that are (perhaps) annoying, but not particularly dangerous, they really should do the same for motorists.
