Hey, folks. CHILL OUT. There's way to much emotion for a thread polling rider habits regarding traffic lights.
The reality is that we all fall somewhere on a spectrum spanning from the free spirited "ignore the rules and do whatever works for you" attitude represented by Joey and myself, and "it's about law and infrastructure" approach at the other end.
So, stow the anger and accept that we all operate within the grey zone and are still here to argue because we've learned to read, analyze, and adjust to situations as they arise.
For my part, I accept that things like laws and infrastructure can help make us safer. However, they cannot make us safe in an absolute sense.
So, believe what you do, but stay focused on doing what you must to care for yourself.
It's sort of like "trust everybody, but count your change".
