[QUOTE="Imaculata, post: 6914879, member: 6801286"] No, that is absolute nonsense. I ride a bike. And when you ride a bike, your view is not restricted by anything. You have total 360 degree vision. You can look in each direction, and be absolutely 100% sure that there is no one on the intersection, and won't be for miles when you run that light. It is absolutely impossible in those situations for some traffic to magically materialize out of thin air. You are dead wrong. Situations where you are that sure exist. And THAT is what he was talking about. Legally it would still be wrong to run that light. But realistically, you are not endangering anyone. But I think you're missing the point of the example that [B]@Fanaelialae[/B] was giving. The example wasn't about hypothetical situations in which a driver has bad judgement, and thinks he's 100% sure, but it's really more along the lines of 90%. The example was about whether it is morally right to run a light, when you ARE absolutely sure and correct, and there is NO danger. And those situations do happen in real life, and especially in traffic, all the time. [/QUOTE]
