Let me make this clear.
I do not run red lights
because motorists break the law wantonly. I simply have no REMORSE or feel any OBLIGATION to appease the same scofflaw motorists. Pot...meet Kettle.
In my OP I asked a question. I will rephrase it: Why-Oh-Why should I care what motorists think about my breaking laws on my bicycle if it has no impact on them other than offending their tender visual sensibilities? Especially given their track record with the law. Why?
