That would be me. I didn't know I was allowed to choose when to blow through red lights and when to obey them. Is there a book or guide sheet that shows when I get to choose to obey traffic rules and when I can choose not to?
If you stop at all red lights and stop signs, whether on a bike or in a vehicle, you won't be in the wrong. If you get used to doing it all the time, it doesn't seem like a chore. If you run red lights at 3am, you might be prone to run one at 5pm when there is more traffic, thus putting others in danger.
If I am so concerned about the time I would be losing by stopping at stop signs, I will leave for my destination 30 seconds earlier. Problem solved.
