The situation I’ll often run red lights is passing under a freeway overpass where there’s a traffic light on either side of the overpass. This allows me to pass under the overpass bridge in the absence of traffic in my lane while at the same time not impeding traffic by my presence.

I do not do this in the face of oncoming traffic, only when the way is clear.

Not expecting sympathy here.
