“I hate these damn bike lanes. Screw your studies. I’m not reading that”
"Cut gas taxes. I see no reason why I should pay to support public transit"
“Fuck speed limits. I’m proud to break the law”
This sense of entitlement is insane.

I have NEVER gone through a red, and yet I routinely substantially speed. There’s no excuse for running reds. If your reaction time is too shitty to stop quick enough, drive slower. But some of us have very fast reaction times indeed.
Have you ever decided you were going too fast to stop for a yellow while speeding?
Running a red ≠ going through a yellow. The latter is legal – that’s the whole point of a yellow, to give warning for folks who are a bit too late to stop.
Being a bit too late to stop is different from speeding and being unable to stop. The yellow is there to account for heavier vehicles, hazardous road conditons, and a little bit of driver distraction. Its all still timed around the limit of the road. If people are routinely speeding, they are pushing the safety margin of that yellow to its limit.
