I guess my point was that red light runners are fools and they cause accidents that kill people. Surely you don’t disagree with that.
It seems to be borne out by statistics that the majority of people who run red lights are simply reacting to poorly-engineered signaling and intersection layout. I remember seeing a photo of a sign that said "Signals Timed to Insure Frequent Stops" or something like that - certainly an extreme case, but you see what I'm getting at.
The fact that cities will reduce the yellow time at intersections where red light cameras have been installed should give you a pretty strong hint as to what's really going on.
Double-check to insure that the information you're getting about red-light running isn't put out by shills for the ticket-camera manufacturers.
