Is it acceptable to run a red light if you know there is no risk of harm to anyone?

This question does not necessarily have an answer as it is designed to assess the capacity of the student to think and demonstrate use of reason and logic. An appropriate answer would consider the various elements at play within the question and accordingly address the individual issues presented. For example, one would question the meaning of 'acceptable' and how it may be understood in the context. It would also assess the importance and weight afforded to knowledge and certainty and its effect on the scenario. Lastly, one would expect an assessment of the underlying reasoning for laws regarding traffic lights. However, much more may be said dependent on the student.
