If I see kids around, I'll always slow down. I'll even smile and say Hi. That's the best example you can give impressionable and non-impressionable kids.
As for anti-cycling wackos, I couldn't care less about them. Let them be miserable.
Again as for the red signs/lights, I'll have to repeat that it's against common sense to stop at a red light when there is nothing around, no cars, the street is dead. It's foolish, even though "against" the law. Even an impressionable kid will agree with me.
Oh....... Dura lex, sed lex.
Must the citizen ever for a moment, or in the least degree, resign his conscience to the legislator? Why has every man a conscience then?
