Anything's an option
Anyone who can do anything about blowing through stop signs and red lights will not be at the right place at the right time to do anything about it. It's part of driving here. If you go about your day anticipating that people won't stop for lights or signs then you can drive defensively and avoid an accident or worse. Some people don't care who they hurt as long as they get to their destination. I've saved my own life multiple times while driving here just by being prepared when others to do the wrong thing. Also, don't expect for cars to stop when a gait is broken even though there is a stop sign at the broken gait. My husband was on the cart at the Liberty Park gait, which is broken, and a car blew right through the double stop sign. If my husband hadn't anticipated the car not stopping he could have been killed. It's where we live so you may as well get used to it.
