When did I blame the red light camera? When did I assign any qualitative attribute to anything at all?
Are you 13 or something? Live in a nice city with public transport? This is what driving is like. There is a sociological component to it, and in certain places it makes a more dangerous maneuver the safer option. I can tsk tsk other drivers in Boston or LA but it doesn't change reality. The people in these places have, collectively and unconsciously, chosen for this to be the way it works. I don't like it but outside of not driving in these places, there's not much I can do about it.
You could stop defending it as an immutable fact and calling people who question this 13 year olds
I am not defending anything? Why are you assigning any intent to my comments besides to give information? Driving in different cities requires understanding the cities culture. In some extreme cases, you have to break traffic laws because the actions of others will make adhering to those laws is the less safe option. I am not saying that it's a good thing or that it should stay that way, but it is the way it is at this time.
