It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Can it really be legal for motorcycles to run red lights? The answer in some places is "Yes." Here's why, and a list of every state where this is the law.

Making traffic safer is literally no reason for you?

Well, I disagree.

And if you want to do it all very slowly, you can start making it a requirement for everything that gets built or changed next year and later.

I mean, my preference would be to simply remove all traffic signalling and implement raised pedestrian crossings at all intersections. But no one listens to me.

Meanwhile, I fail to see how this law makes anyone less safe, assuming it is followed appropriately. It is essentially the same law that many cyclists are allowed to follow - stop, look both ways, go if safe. Basically, treat it like a stop sign.
