Long long time ago, I ran a red light on peshawar road rawalpindi. It was 2006 or 07 i guess. It was very late at night n no traffic at all. I thought well, no point in stopping, Thank GOD I slowed down to about 40km/h or so. As i approached the intersection, a corolla guy drove out of a street right into the center!!! Thank GOD i had slowed down, tires were good and car had some weight in it and i managed to stop the car few feet short of the corolla. The guy literally stopped in the middle to make me realize what i had done Never again did i ever run any other signal.
The thing that is more dangerous is, you having green signal with no traffic to pass. People think okay well im doing 80km.h, theres no traffic, signal is green so lets pass !! what they dont know is that some ****** bag in his brand new chitti gaddi thinks he owns the road and will run the red light and come straight in to T-bone you. I remember, long ago such a thing happened to a military person whos accord CL9 was struck by a truck. Poor fellow died right at the spot. Wasnt even his mistake! So, if ur signal is green, still slow down enough to be able to stop ur car if u see someone coming from other direction...
