Legal requirements and the right thing to do are entirely different concepts.

How about:
1. Watch out you don't get yourself killed.
2. Don't create situations that kill people.

Generally speaking, doing the things that violate #1 will get you a ticket (if there's a cop in a bad mood with nothing to do) or dead. The biker and the Chevelle driver broke that. Now Duck Lady and GTO Wrench, on the other hand, broke rule #2. If you break rule #1 and things go bad, Over and done with, it sucks. If you break rule #2 then even a cop who isn't bored will take interest and if someone nearby is breaking rule #1 then it'll go a lot worse for all concerned and what would have ordinarily have gotten you a ticket will now land you in jail.
