This law does not allow a biker to blast through a stop sign at 20 mph, but to carefully roll through when there is no traffic to yield to.
I ride tens of thousands of miles and have never had an accident.

I agree 100% with this. I didn't know there was such a law, but it's genius. I'll look that up and see if there's any groups supporting the same here, and I'll offer my voice to their efforts.
