I thought this was obvious, but stopping safely at an intersection includes being able to leave the intersection when the light turns green.

When your car is stalled in the middle of the road, it can pose a danger to others.

You shouldn't be driving a broken car, and saying "well but the brakes work" doesn't make it okay.

I already addressed those specific concerns. Wide, empty roads. Not a safety issue. Did you know that plenty of mechanics will take vehicles in far worse shape on the road, in traffic, because it's the only way to test them?

As much as I enjoyed being put on trial here, I would have preferred to actually talk about red light cameras instead. Maybe next time stick to the topic, rather than derailing a large part of a thread with self-righteous moral pedantry.
