I used to be adamant about stopping and the law until I got hit in an intersection by an impatient driver when a cleat slipped trying to clip in while commuting to work. Now? No way in hell am I going to care. I have no blind spots and after my broken neck and back it is my life with no spares left. Arbitrary bullshit is far more dangerous than intelligent actions and reason. I stop when I must to be safe and only then.
