Bikes and lights

I guess that most bikers (bicycles) are law abiding and very aware of their own safety on the road. But there are many who just seem to think because it isn't a motorised vehicle that they can flout all the rules.
How often at night, driving a long a road, you come upon a biker pedalling along with no lights - I know it is impracticable to have bobbies on the beat but in the old days these guys were always pulling you up and making sure you followed the rules.
When I was young daren't go out after lighting up time without a light at the front and back of the bike, today people aren't bothered about the rules - but they soon shout loud enough if a car or bus gets too near them.
