Just cause everyone else is breaking the law doesn't mean it is OK for me to.
Why? Not so I feel better than others, but because it may, just one day, help me prevent rolling out in front of another car or cyclist or ped, or allow me to better avoid an accident if not speeding. I also find if I don't follow all the rules, I'll bend 'em and then get sloppy.
