So, I guess when you catch them, they're supposed to think, "Oh no, wow, here I thought I was Mister Speedy and this law-abiding citizen who waited for the liight like I should have, just caught me! Gosh, I guess I'm not so speedy after all! I guess he showed me. From now on, I'm going to come to a full stop at all reds, put both feet on the ground, and not budge until the light turns green."

In reality, they're probably thinking, "I wonder if I can use that 2 for 1 Starbucks coupon in my bag, it got water on it and now it's kinda illegible, might as well try it, hmm on second thought maybe I better just get on to work and get there on time, wow, who's this gaper and what's he giving me the stink-eye for, oh well, guess he didn't get his full ration of bran this morning, hmm little squeak in the frame, have to look at that later..."
