I was at a red light the other day and I got to thinking...what really keeps us stopping when the light is red? At this particular moment the idea of running the light wasn't really an option because I would have plowed into several cars going in the opposite direction. (Current motivation - staying alive.) But what if it's late at night and the light is red? Do I go? If I check both ways and I don't see a police car. (Dual motivations - staying alive and not wanting a ticket.) If I go what does that say about me? Okay, I've done it before. I admit. So, do I follow the rules for the right reasons or only when it suits me? How far would I take it? Everyone has their own barometer of what they would do if they could get away with it. Where is you limit?
