I was thinking about this thread while riding last night breaking an uncountable number of traffic laws; when I do break rules, I am careful not stick it to anyone else, a legal ped, or another biker or a car.
Well, okay I break rules too sometimes. I try to be the same way though. For example late at night at a stop sign where all traffic can be spotted, and there's nobody for blocks, I'll roll it. I got lucky one night. I actually stopped at a red light with no traffic, and after about 30 seconds a cop rolls up next to me and thanks me for not running the light. Not running it that night anyway!
