Fewer than drivers, given that drivers tend to ignore the rules of the road more per a Danish government study:

And perhaps more drivers should take up some cycling as it would make them better drivers (per a UK insurance company)

Or using motorcycles or scooters: 2013 and 2015 UK insurance reports found riders better motorists than drivers, as did a 2014 UK police chiefs survey.

Ridiculous and trivially provably false. (maybe Danish are different)

Go to any intersection in SF or LA. Set up a camera. Count the number of cars and cyclists that break a traffic law. Cars will be 5-10% breaking the laws. Cyclists will be 95-97% breaking the laws.
