do you stay or do you go?
here is the scenario:
you are stopped at a red light, at a four way intersection. it is daytime, clear, sunny. you have a perfect line of sight for at least a half mile in every direction. there are NO cars coming, no one walking or crossing a street, no cars waiting on the other side of the light. you are alone at that intersection. just you, sitting at the red light, waiting for it to change.
do you stay there, sit and wait, or do you go?
this happened to me today. i went. i ran the red light.
this is how i see it. that light is there to help ensure a safe and orderly flow of traffic. clearly there was no one coming, my going forward did not endanger anyone, nor did it obstruct the flow of traffic. there was no traffic other than me.
what would you have done? honestly.
