Not a whit. I get in the saddle every day with the same goal: never put myself into a situation where getting hit by a car would be in any way my fault. I often ignore traffic lights and stop signs-- because I proceed when I absolutely know it is safe-- a stop sign has no idea what traffic conditions look like. Traffic lights and signs are there to remind people of the law. I'm concerned about my own safety, so it's my job, every ride, to protect myself. If someone is on their phone and drifts over the line and punts me into a ditch, there isn't a damn thing I can do about that. So I don't try to change the behavior of others, whether cyclists, drivers, or pedestrians. Doing so would be the rough equivalent of going outside and yelling at the wind.
