How about the laws where drivers have to maintain a minimum distance from cyclists? If I ever see that law enforced, I might start giving a shit about other traffic laws. Running lights allows me to get a head start on traffic and hopefully get to the next light/stop sign before drivers try to murder me by passing within inches so they can stop 100 feet away a few seconds sooner.

I then proceeded to follow him for the next few blocks because a car isn't that much faster than a bike in these situations. People in cars hate being slowed down. Some, I hear, even get violent. There is a patience I learned moving through my city at 15 mph. I wish more people appreciated it.
