“As society descends into lawlessness, I’m finding myself running a lot more red lights than I used to. Typically, red left-hand turn arrows when there isn’t a car in sight. I used to dutifully wait for the arrow to turn green. Now I say screw it. I ran one the other morning and the guy right behind me said screw it as well and followed me right through it.”

Started doing the same. We have about 5 seconds at one intersection between a red light and when cross-traffic finally moves. The hell if I’m stopping at 3 seconds past the red light. I’m helping the traffic flow, actually. Late at night I’m not going to be a target for bad guys - so, yep, I’ll still stop at a red light, check for traffic and pigs, but if clear, I’m rolling.

And one fine day you will lean about inattentive viewing.

A painful and expensive lesson.

Now, do not care about you, but your innocent victims concern me.
