SeeTheOtherSide,
Rules change only because people oppose them. Many very good, upstanding (and yes, responsible) people regularly break senseless rules. The point of stop signs in some places (as Doreen quite correctly states) is to slow traffic, and (as she humourously adds) bikes seldom need slowing. Fining people for breaking such laws creates ill will among the citizenery (if the letters to this paper be any judge) and accomplishes nothing in the name of public safety.
People who blindly cede to illogical rules live unhappy lives, those who challenge them sometimes live to see change.
