Prescribed pattern distances/altitudes/entrys are fine until someone
doesn't..
- good strobes, good radio technique, look out for the other guy, and keep
looking until clear of the runway -
are the only things that can be depended upon to work... If you want more
safety add another strobe to your plane not another regulation...

Well, you shouldn't fly a tight pattern any more than you should fly a
wide pattern.
