Well，I would never do it, because my father and mother both got me crossed red light while there were cars aside. I am very angry at that two moments. Beside I usually choose to walk,so red light is actually a good time to have a rest.

In my view, we should always adhere to traffic rules, even in seemingly “safe” situations like the one described. Once, I was in a hurry for an important meeting and found myself alone at a crossroads with no cars in sight. But I still waited for the green light. Although it might seem like a waste of time in that moment, traffic rules are not just about individual convenience but about overall road safety and order.

I think we should always follow traffic rules, even when it seems safe not to. Once, I waited at a deserted intersection's red light late at night instead of running it. This protected my safety and maintained personal integrity.Another example is in a quiet suburban area. Just because it's empty doesn't mean we can ignore stop signs, as unexpected situations can arise.Rules in other areas, like silence in a library or no littering in a park, also matter. If everyone makes exceptions based on convenience, chaos will follow. Obeying traffic rules is a legal and moral duty, showing respect for the law and concern for others.

True morality is tested when no one is watching. Like in Button, Button, people may justify wrong actions if the consequences are invisible—just as someone might run a red light when the road is empty. I once waited at a red light on my bike even though no cars were around, because it felt wrong to break the rule just for convenience. These small moments matter. Whether it’s cheating on a test or pushing a button that causes harm, our choices—especially when unseen—reveal our true character. Following rules only when it benefits us isn’t morality, it’s self-interest.

I will abide by traffic rules. Many tragedies occur because people do not follow traffic rules. For instance, a car may suddenly appear. One should not take chances.
What I saw was about garbage classification. I still don't know how to classify garbage. Most people nowadays just throw it all together. Maybe it's because it hasn't been popularized enough, or there are no strict legal constraints, or the relevant departments haven't been fully established.

I might not choose to follow traffic rules as usual if I were walking and there were no vehicles waiting at the traffic lights at that time.However, if I were riding an electric bike, I would choose to follow the traffic rules as usual, because riding an electric bike against the traffic signal would result in being photographed and fined.

I may not obey the rules as usual. For example, evening self-study classes in high school usually end very late. I often stay in the classroom for another hour. At that time, hardly any cars were on the road, so I wouldn't strictly obey the traffic rules as I did during the day.

I think this is a very real issue. Most of us tend to take chances and want to cross the road more quickly. So when we see that the traffic light isn't green yet but there are no cars around, we're tempted to hurry across. However, rationally speaking, there are still risks involved. We shouldn't rely on luck—instead, we should follow traffic rules and take responsibility for our lives.

If I am in a hurry, I think I might run a red light in such a situation, but if there is no rush, I will still follow the traffic rules. Sometimes when I ride electric bikes, I don't wear helmets or install canopies on them. In addition, when my friends and I go to a nearby place for fun, we will sit on the same shared bicycle. Often, people tend to break traffic rules out of convenience, but this is incorrect. We should try our best to avoid it.

It depends on what vehicle I am driving. If I drive a car, of course ,I will obey the traffic rules. But if I just drive a shared bike or e-bike , perhaps I won't obey the rules, cuz I have a road rage.
More experiences: When I go to the supermaket like Sam or Hema, there are always a lot of pretastes and as for me, I just pretaste them a lot but I won't but them unless the food is particularly delicious.

I will follow the rules as usual. The traffic law is not only a rule, but also a safety of human life. In my daily life, when I go to the bathroom, I throw paper into the paper basket and flush the toilet before leaving for the next person to use. This is the simplest and most common rule that needs to be followed in daily life, but some people can't do it, resulting in a worse bathroom environment.

I. Obeying the Rules as Usual
In my opinion, I would still choose to obey the traffic rules even if I am the only one waiting at the crossroads and it appears safe to run the red light. This is based on several important principles.
Firstly, traffic rules are designed to maintain order and ensure safety for all road users. They are not just guidelines for when it is convenient to follow them. For example, if everyone decided to run red lights whenever they thought it was safe, the entire traffic system would descend into chaos. Imagine a busy intersection during rush hour. If drivers started to make their own judgments about when it was safe to proceed, there would be a high risk of collisions. The fact that the rules are followed consistently helps to create a predictable environment for pedestrians and other vehicles.
Secondly, there is the issue of setting an example. When you obey the rules, you are sending a message to others, especially young people who may be observing your behavior. For instance, if a child sees an adult waiting patiently at a crosswalk for the green light, even when it seems safe to cross early, it reinforces the idea that following rules is important. This helps to cultivate a culture of respect for rules in society.
II. Examples of Situations Where Rules Are Tempting to Break
1. Speeding on an Empty Road
- There are times when you might be driving on a highway late at night and it seems like there is no other traffic around. The speed limit might be set at a lower level than what feels comfortable for driving in such an empty environment. However, speeding could still be dangerous. For example, there might be unexpected obstacles or animals crossing the road. Also, if you get into an accident while speeding, even in seemingly safe conditions, you would be more likely to suffer severe injuries and the consequences would be more severe for any other road users who might come across the scene.
2. Skipping Queue in a Store
- When you are in a store and you see a long line at the checkout counter, but you only have one item, it might be tempting to try to skip the queue. However, this would be unfair to others who have been waiting their turn. It could also lead to a breakdown in the orderly process of serving customers. For example, if everyone started to cut in line based on how many items they had, it would create confusion and potentially lead to arguments among customers.
III. The Importance of Internalizing Rules
Ultimately, it is important to internalize the idea that rules are meant to be followed. This helps to build a sense of responsibility and respect for the greater good. When we follow traffic rules, we are not just protecting ourselves but also contributing to the safety and well - being of the entire community.
-
When I rode an electric scooter before, sometimes I ran red lights when I saw no vehicles or people around, and didn't obey traffic rules. That's because I thought the red light time was too long. It was very cold waiting in winter and very hot in summer, so I wanted to get back indoors quickly. Besides, when there was no traffic police inspection, I wouldn't wear a helmet because I thought it was too troublesome.
-
I would still choose to obey the rules. Rules exist not only for safety but also for maintaining social order. Once, late at night when crossing a deserted street, I waited for the green light even though no cars were in sight. A cyclist passing by later followed my example, which showed that individual compliance can influence others.
-
I think I won't follow the rules as usual. If it's safe to do so, I will choose to cross the road. Because I'm not a patient person and I don't like waiting. When facing similar situations in normal circumstances, I always choose the quicker method too.
Other examples: If you are walking on the street and see a lost wallet, would you return it to the owner or keep it for yourself? I think this is a very common situation in people's daily lives, and it can easily test a person's qualities. If it were me, I would choose to wait there for a while for the owner to return. If I don't manage to wait for the owner to come back, I would give it to the local staff or call the police.

When there are no vehicles at the red light, I will follow the traffic rules as usual, because violating traffic rules not only may endanger life safety, but also will result in penalties from the traffic police, such as fines and written warnings. The rules are established for our better life. Adhering to them will benefit us, while violating them will cause us trouble. In daily life, schools will set rules for us, such as wearing school uniforms and not eating during class, etc. These are the rules we need to follow.
-
I will choose to follow traffic rules. Because regardless of whether there are vehicles or red lights. Respecting the social contract is a moral norm. If everyone runs the red light like this for a long time, the authority of society will gradually collapse, ultimately leading to more accidents. Even if you run a red light, people may have blind spots and there may be people and cars that you cannot see. Germany has a strong sense of rules, even at 3am on the road, no one will run a red light and will abide by traffic rules.

I would like to obey the traffic rules. As long as there are traffic lights, I will wait patiently.In life, I am also a person who prefers to follow the rules and proceed step by step, and I don't like to challenge new things.Just like in daily life, I always take the initiative to clean the dormitory, do my best to fulfill my duties and manage my own area well
