I SO wish this way true...
Around here we have what is called the "raincross ride", i.e. all out balls fest, everyone for themselves mashfest, representatives from a few local groups. Hmmm... lets see, 10 - 12 - 15 + ran stop signs... now reds are another story... we almost never run these.
On a local solo ride I about 90 percent of time follow the rules of the road... there are times that the rules become impractical... like a run turn light in the middle of the night with no traffic for miles, or something like Victoria Ave with 50,000 stop signs in a short distance, etc.
Not everyone is a turd...
