It amazes me how much downright dangerous behavior people are willing to accept to cut their commute down by 20 seconds. I was riding my bike, in the right lane almost to an intersection with a green light, and traffic was at a standstill on the otherside. The guy in the lane to the left of me was already stopped, and then figured "what the hell, I'll make a right turn and stay out of this mess". One emergency turn later, I made it across to the other side...

And it's not just the drivers... What's with the idiotic bicyclists who wait until the light turns green for cross traffic to cross through an intersection?

I really fail to see what is constantly so important that manslaughter charges or suicide are worth the risk...
