Reply to comment by CostcoBrandDinosaur in Cambridge City Council to consider citywide ban on ‘turning on red’ by superfakesuperfake

Anecdotes aren't evidence. But even if they were, that anecdote wouldn't be - if you're treating the red light like a stop sign, you still wouldn't go while people are crossing. So that behavior would be illegal even if Idaho Stop was legal.

I agree that everyone is an asshole while transiting in this state. I don't agree that the law trumps safety.

"I don't care what the law says I'm doing my own thing" really sums up every discussion about bikes/cars around here.

I'm not going to sacrifice my safety (or others safety) at the altar of the law. I'm just not. The law isn't some sacred thing that's worth dying for.
