Have you ever purposely violated a traffic law other than speeding?

 

  I’ll bet that many of us have made an “ill-advised” lane change, a “hope no one is looking” u-turn where it was not allowed, a “meh, it’s midnight and nobody is around” breeze through a red light, or the “I’ll just cross this median to avoid all that traffic up ahead”.

  One thing I never EVER do is the “school bus, schmool bus, I ain‘t stopping’ for no red stinkin’ blinkin’ lights and fake stop sign hangin’ off the fender”.

Not completely stopping at a stop sign.  I stopped that when I went to law school.  Those people are really anal about traffic tickets....you know, no regard for the law kind of thing.    It's a good habit to come to a full stop. 

I try very hard to obey all traffic laws while driving (yep, I'm that driver).  Many times it seems as if I'm the only driver who obeys them.

I will admit that on a few occasions I have violated a few laws -

- I've gone through a few red lights, but only because they got stuck (and I waited for 5 minutes before doing so). 
- I've (literally) slid through a few stop signs (safely), but only when there was several feet of snow on the ground; and had I stopped I would have gotten stuck and become another 1125. 
-  I've not chained up my truck when chains were required on numerous occasions.

I've done illegal U-turns a few times, got caught one time and nice cop just gave me a verbal warning.

Crossed a solid double line.

I was parked outside a greasy spoon in a country town (Echuca), en route from Sydney to Warrnambool, getting dinner for the family. Angle parking, nose to kerb. While parked, a truck parked beside me.
When leaving, I had to back out wide to avoid the truck, and crossed the centre line by no more than 18 inches - just as a police car came around the corner. The officer gave me a ticket for crossing double lines. Had I turned any more tightly I'd have hit the truck. Some cops are a$$hats.
