I know exactly what you're talking about. I think it has to do with the fact that ghettos are the fringes of society, normal rules, laws and regulations don't apply there. For example, things like stop signs and traffic lights are more of a a suggestion in the ghetto rather than a command. Around where I grew up we did what was called the Philly slide. The way Philly is laid out most intersections have four way stop signs and they're so close together nobody ever bothers coming to a complete stop at them, you just slow down a little and slide through. Now if you go up to Kensington or other areas of the city they don't even wait out red lights, just stop to make sure nobody is coming and drive through. Not to mention all the quads and dirt bikes you see whipping around on the streets, they really don't bother obeying traffic laws because they're not even supposed to be on the street to begin with. Then you got the guys that will just stop in the middle of the street to talk with their boys, i'm talking about one-lane one-way streets, till he has the block looking like a fuckin McDonald's drive thru.
