Just joking.

What's the use of complaining? It might make me feel a bit relieved, but useless still. Got hit last time last September on a green light. Got hit several more times when having the right of way by careless drivers. Nothing I do will change drivers behaviour. I stay alert, careful and disregard rules when they are pointless in a particular situation. I find it silly to wait on an empty road for the light to change, knowing I won't get fined for it. Laws aren't always = justice, not even order for that matter. Guess our argument is more about mentality than anything else. When cops start fining cyclists for speeding, running red lights etc, I might change the practice, until then I like freedom.
