'm not supporting this behavior and I am not asking for other people's support of the behavior I am simply stating the way it is in certain places at this time, and how that may have influenced this woman's behavior. Breaking certain traffic laws can become the driving culture in an area, and as such, not doing so can lead to accidents because other drivers will be expecting that behavior from you. The safest form of driving is when everyone knows why everyone else is going to do. The red light cameras didn't increase rear end collisions because they're bad, they increased rear end collisions because they caused behaviors that went against the accepted culture. The culture should change, I want the culture to change, but that involved short-term increases in collisions because other drivers were expecting the behavior of the previous culture. That is what I'm trying to express to you: this is not individual decision making this is a sociological, cultural decision that every driver in that area is making, and their split second decisions are based on that accepted culture.

Obviously something like drunk driving is not something every other person on the road is going to expect and your behavior while drunk driving is not going to be predictable, which is one of the many reasons it's incredibly unsafe.
