Do you run red lights?

I’ll run red turning lights if there is no traffic coming. If there is no cops around and no cameras.

I find it weird when people don’t. They act as if running a red is like stealing or some other sin. It’s just a traffic control device. Don’t sign away your liberty as a human to an automated light.

No, but I do text and drive.

If no one is around I'll do the "rolling stop."

But if you get used to doing this, you can get careless and I got a ticket b/c I didn't see the cop car.

I would never "run" a red light. This implies putting the pedal to the floor and gunning it through the intersection. Extremely dangerous.

However, if there was absolutely no traffic, I would have no problem with slowing down and proceeding if it was safe.

No, not at all.

No. I have a CDL and have no tickets on my record so I’m extra careful.

No I don't.
