That's a good way to sum it up. I was trying to put the law breaking part of this topic into the background, with an implicit assumption that many people can accept that always following the letter of the law is not realistic on a bicycle in many areas. If I were stirring up a bunch of road rage with my minor infractions I think I'd know that. I'm usually coming to a near stop at red lights - a full stop if there's poor visibility or any cross traffic. Then I roll thru as necessary when safe, without waiting for a green light.

The whole topic here is, how do police in different areas react to that sort of behavior?

If the topic is too trivial to interest certain readers then don't expand the scope. Make this one of the threads you quickly scan and move on. It will drop into the abyss before long. Especially if you refrain from making inflammatory posts such as wishing a fellow cyclist to be involved in an collision. I regret that my thread fuels such thoughts. But I forgive acidfast7 and wish he would not get so angry and just live and let live.
