I agree completely. Blowing stoplights or failing to stop at stop signs is arrogance in search of a reckoning, and it gives drivers a clear indication that you have no regard as to the traffic laws, so why should they? Also, filtering to the front at a stop and staying to the right and out of the main flow of traffic is simply a necessary survival technique. Placing yourself directly between two cars while waiting for everyone to move forward is foolhardy, and in my experience drivers are happy to have you move out of their intended path.
