Me too. It's what I do.

I have also had a light with a fast yellow make it hard to get out of a large intersection quickly. I have been in the lead and in the front section of a group and had others blindly follow through the intersection just out of inexperience. And there are jerks who just do it too by choice.

My thought is just that it's hard to know exactly what happened, and that a cyclist who has done that a few times would possibly be more patient or just have more empathy about all the things that could have happened. I don't really know the answer, I was just wondering if he could see the other point of view. I guess the answer is, It doesn't matter.
