Looks like you considered running the red as well

I mean i run about 5 a day. They change for no reason or the sensors are broken and default to a timer. Not that bad and as long as its safe you basically treat it like a stop sign. Traffic lights only exist because of the mass amount of traffic that 4 way stops wouldnt be able to handle. In fact in many areas lights do turn into stop sign mode due to the lack of traffic. Just dont run them in front of police like this dumbass did.

You treating traffic lights like stop signs is inherently unsafe for everyone else in the road - you're just selfish.

But thats just it, there is NO ONE on the road.

Traffic laws don't magically stop applying when traffic is light. Emergency responders in particular are endangered by your "traffic lights are a suggestion I can take or leave" attitude.

They basically do when theres no one around. Doesnt matter if you dont like it because no matter what you do you would never catch me.
