My point is that blindly teaching drivers about traffic rules makes them extremely unprepared for the reality of driving. I've run red lights accidentally many times. It happens. I've precented collisions by LOOKING AT THE ROAD and knowing when a driver is going to run a yellow or red when I'm turning left/stealing the intersection. You're treating every red light run the same. It's like saying speeding on the freeway by 15mph is just as dangerous as speeding by 15mph on surface streets. The latter is MUCH more dangerous by like, at least two factors of 10.
