if everyone went around running red lights all the time, there'd be loads of accidents. Here you're making a consequentialist argument for a deontological (Kantian) position. To me, this suggests your terminal values are consequentialist, but from this you derive instrumental values that value certain Kantian imperatives. I roughly agree with this; for example, I'd like to discourage lying to friends to the extent that people don't do so even when it seems the consequences would be better if they did, because although this means that a few decisions will go "the wrong way", overall it leads to a better world.
