Accountability
I had a buddy who didn't have much respect for the rules. He was always shooting here and there taking short cuts in traffic on his regular bicycle. One day he was in a hurry and was crossing a 4 lane street where the limit was 40 mph. When the light turn yellow for cross traffic he shot across the crosswalk not waiting for his light to turn green. Unfortunately a guy in a full size pickup was in a hurry and tried to beat the yellow. My buddy got T-boned. The bicycle received a nice 30 degree bend in the center post along with his leg, and the cuts and bruises on his face made him look like Frankenstein for a while. I don't feel it was fair to the pickup driver since he should have waited for the green light.
