Consequently, in many games, players are allowed to speed, run red lights and stop signs, run over red lights and stop signs, or otherwise drive recklessly with impunity. There are just as many exceptions as there are examples, but there are enough straight uses to make this trope-worthy. Examples of Optional Traffic Laws include:
