Depends on the time of day and the situation. I know that motorist hate cyclist because many of them run red lights blatantly. My morning commute starts usually at 530AM. This early there is very little traffic, so when I come to red light I will slow down to check traffic. There is not a car in sight, I run the red light. If there are cars, there is usually just one or two. I wait for them to pass then I run the red light.

On the commute home I generally wait for a green light along with other motorists. There is more traffic and it's much harder to get a gap long enough to cross safely on a red light. I am not reckless when it comes to these things.
