it is not grumpy for someone to tell you that this kind of behavior pisses off drivers:

maybe i should just roll my car through the middle of an intersection some time. if anyone gets mad, i will just label them as grumpy and say they don't have friends.
and btw, several group rides in orange county have been the targets of ticket operations at stop signs and red lights for similar offenses. but, i don't think those cops were enforcing the traffic laws. i think they were just being grumpy.
