But if no one is there, I will run stop signs or lights with glee. Theoretically, the lanes I'm crossing have the right of way, but if there is no actual car there, I ignore that. In other words, I ride by the rules of nature, not the artificial rules of law.
The rules of nature would not allow for the traffic efficiency we achieve. Every intersection would be a major decision which would involve slowing down. So I'm glad to hear that you sacrifice a bit and follow the law when there is other traffic
