Best possible answer, it depends. Everyone has to make up his own mind, and in doing so engage in a cost analysis each time he does.
Ask yourself the next time you go to violate a rule, "Are the consequences worth it?"
Not being one to offer such a vague answer without something on which to hang it, here's an example:
Several years ago, someone very dear to me suffered a heart attack, one most cardiologist refer to as a "widow maker." I was the one who drove her to the hospital. Although, the local ambulance service is less than five miles from our home, and the hospital is closer to thirty miles away, I was able to make it to the ER in about fifteen minutes (do the math to figure out how fast I drove). It was dangerous for me to drive that fast, but even her doctor, the surgeon who had her on his table five minutes after we got to the hospital said she probably would not have survived for the ambulance to get the 911 call, dispatch a vehicle, drive to our home, and assess my likely deceased loved one for treatment. My quick cost assessment went like this: this is the big one, I can do this...I am confident in my ability to navigate around some of the worst drivers on the planet and get us there safely, and while I know that I will have to break every traffic law in the state to do it, any cop who sees me can arrest me after I get her to the hospital. It's worth it.
I wasn't trying to be heroic, but I was focused on saving the life of one of the most important people in my life. I didn't "alter" the laws to fit the situation. I disregarded them and broke them. Others might believe it to have been irresponsible, but I would loudly and aggressively disagree.
