the original statement was that drivers do it all the time, wether the traffic light might pass green or not.
Many cyclists slow down when they see a traffic light being red with a lane of stopped car in front. Because cyclists understand physics and drivers are generally bad at anticipating events.. Almost universally a driver try a quick pass to brake check the cyclists and stop in front of the cyclist while it would be more efficient for both of them to gently slow down instead of stopping so they still have speed when the light go green.
At a normal traffic light, maybe. But the whole premise of this thread is that the lights that only turn green when a car is approaching.
>Besides there is a good chance you are the one holding up the cyclists creating a mini traffic jam with fellow drivers at every traffic lights.
