That's why in MI, ESPECIALLY around Detroit-proper, you NEVER dump it off the light when you see green. The number of times I have gotten green on the way to work when I worked in Hamtramck, and then seconds later some "Detroit resident" assclown jumps blows a blatant red and crosses in front of me, is countless. I'm even MORE wary of taking off quick from a set of lights, especially in heavy traffic and on my motobike, as a jackass blowing a red light when I'm in the intersection would probably mean death for me!
MI drivers are some of the WORST, especially when it comes to blowing red lights. When the state government talked about introducing red-light-camera's there was an uproar in MI, with people claiming absurd claims of "it denies my right to privacy!" PLEASE!

It denies their chances to blow red lights!
Red light cameras are almost everywhere in Australia, and you know what; very few people blow them now, and hence accidents like these are extremely rare!
