I drove home from Ibn Battuta recently, and traffic was not too bad. It was around lunch time on a weekend, so I guess nobody should have been too much in a rush. I came to the traffic light which switched from green to amber and I prepared to stop at the sign. However, the car left to me seemed to totally ignore the signal switching to red and it passed the interchange just before the cars on the other sections got green and started moving – pretty close encounter!
I guess we all have to be much more aware and we must consider the dire consequences to our own safety and health, as well as the safety and health of all other drivers.
I fully agree with the above story. I always try to slow down near the signal where in the driving lessons, we were taught to bring down the speed to 40 while approaching signal. Secondly you should always stop when the signal switches from green to amber.

But there are some cowards who apply SUDDEN break while the GREEN blinks, in this case for some cars/drivers in the back might not get time to apply break even though he is maintaining the 3 second rule.
