Also it's not about doing bad things for you since you're good but it's more about not being able to break the law to do good things. If you had to drive a friend to the hospital in an emergency you would theoretically have trouble running red lights even if the traffic were clear....others would just say f it and I don't want my friend to die we're speeding and running lights.

Thanks for explaining Sometimes!
I can see from your example that I would have trouble speeding to rush someone to the hospital, though more because it is dangerous than the Police, because if I deemed that it was an emergency, I could justify that to myself even if I got a ticket. My Dad actually got away with going the wrong way down a one way system to get a colleague to hospital. The police saw him and put their sirens on, but it was right around the corner from the hospital so he didn't stop for them. The guy, stupidly, had tried to catch a falling plane of glass that my Dad dropped from up a ladder (he told him to get out of the way, but the guy panicked) and it had practically severed both his hands. Luckily Dad got him to the hospital before he bled out and he got his hands put back on, but lost quite a bit of function. The docs said that Dad saved his life, and so the police let him off. I've seen an ambulance totalled when blue lighting it through a junction at speed, and so the thought of being in a serous accident worries me more than a ticket. A ticket I can pay or argue the extenuating factors, but crashing the car while rushing someone to hospital rather defeats the point. I've gotten away from your point though
