Precisely!

There are two key components:

    - I believe the law is overly proscriptive / strict / wrong.
    - I believe I won't get caught
It's no different to someone speeding because "It's clear conditions and I consider myself to be perfectly safe at this speed". Or skipping a stop sign "I can clearly see nothing is coming".
