By "shot the lights" I assume you mean going through the intersection even though you're facing a red light. (?) I don't do this, except as allowed by Wisconsin's pretty new law (must wait at least a minute after which you're allowed to assume the lights are "sensing" lights and don't sense your presence). Unless I'm missing some subtlety, I don't understand how it doesn't save time to go through... I am not an aggressive biker or driver and that you bring them up is confusing the thesis of the article. NOBODY is proposing making it legal to just blast through a red light. Perhaps this is what you mean by shooting the lights, but in that case you "strongly disagreeing" with the article implies you might want to reread what was proposed. The embedded video is an awesome explainer.
