I doubt that a significant percentage of scofflaw riders wish the laws were different. I sure don't. The Idaho Stop Law is worthless to me as far as red lights go (it would be OK for stop signs). If I have to STOP, then I might as well take a breather. It's the stopping that kills me (us). If I come upon an intersection with good lines of sight and no crossing traffic, why would I stop, then go? I am just going to slide right through.

If we get an Idaho Stop Law, then motorists will have even MORE to whine about. "Look, we made a law specifically for cyclists and they are STILL BREAKING IT. Waaaaaah."

I don't want Idaho Stop in my community. We already have it figured out. Cyclists do what they want, locals understand it - and often even EMBRACE it, and the cops don't care. Perfect. What I WOULD like to see is a day when motorists cease with the hypocrisy. Now that would be a great day for cycling!
