A couple of friends of mine have been rolling through a stop sign in the middle of nowhere where I used to live for years, and I just started to adopt the practice. One night at 2am I thoroughly scanned for cars and rolled through at about 15mph. I pulled into my driveway and started walking into the house when an officer stopped by and issued a $250 ticket.
I obey all traffic control devices now. The only time I will run a red is when my motorcycle has failed to trigger a light and I have waited twice as long as it normally takes to get a green.
