“Where basic laws are thought of as suggestions.”
But you are right. Things like stop signs, lane markers are really just suggestions.
In the late 70’s I took a cab ride in Mexico city. These guys obviously grew up watching figure 8 demolition derbies on TV. It was a big Dodge and he didn’t hesitate to use his bumpers to get people moving or out of his way. It got the Adrenalin level up near max. We went about 5 miles in five minutes or less. I don’t remember stopping for lights, if there was space he went through it. I gave him 3 dollars for the ride and a five dollar tip for surviving.
