I once stopped at a red light at night, and, for some reason, was thinking that it was a stop sign, and then immediately after stopping, proceeded to drive right through the intersection.
Then, after realizing what I had done, screeched to a stop on the other-side of the intersection, as if making up for it, lol.

In Kuwait they will deport you after you run your second stop light, but only if they catch you on camera or if there happens to be a cop nearby. If there is no camera I usually see about 3 cars run the red light. They are deporting people for speeding 40K above the speed limit too.

I stop, get out, and run around the car three times before continuing. But then, again, I'm Canadian!

In order to increase revenue some traffic lights have shortened the cycle between green and red so more photo's can be taken of people going through a red light. Evidently this has been corrected and is no longer the case. Iven

I stop. That's what we were taught to do, and it makes sense, so I just do it.
Years ago, I was clipped by a woman who ran a stop sign. When she got out of the car, she was very apologetic, and then said she didn't see the stop sign because she was on her cell phone, calling her office to tell them she'd be late for work. Ever since then, I've been a dinosaur. I'd rather stop than have to waste my time dealing with a collision.

I've actually been hit twice by people running red lights.
The first one a rurally tried to tell me I was the one who ran the light, despite every single witness at the scene claiming the contrary.

I stop. Even when I first got my license, I stopped. The cops in my area are sticklers for this too, and they will pull you over for doing 26 in a 25. Annoying, yes, but it's given me good driving records and for the past 11 years I haven't had a single accident or ticket. Just safer that way.
