Oh I get that no prob. What I'm saying is that if you're doing 60km/h, you're cruising along then the light let's say 50m in front of you turns orange. I'd speed up a bit to go through because I know that if I hit the brakes hard the guy behing me will end up in my boot. So there's a bit of buffer speed wise to clear the intersection. Some of those lights have very short orange and in some cases you have to make a quick decision. So yes this is going to generate a lot of revenues and I suspect more accidents.
You go through a red light then it's wrong of course. Does it matter how fast you went through it? I
always check and have a quick look left and right when going through green anyway. An old trick I picked up in Europe
