I have lived in this city for 40+ years and I can honestly say that it has become part of the culture. I drive a company vehicle and I won't go at a green light even if people are honking at me. Yesterday my light turned green and a lady looked like she was stopping but then just decided "meh, fuck it" and went on through. I literally watched her decision making process happen after my light was already green. I often see 2 or 3 cars all just say "meh".
