While we're on the subject of red light jumping, a friend of mine (nameless to protect the not innocent) was stopped by police recently for going through a red light on her first day in her new job as a courier. She was given a telling off and, believe it or not, the officer said to her,

'and what makes it worse is that you stopped to think about it and have a look to see if anything was coming before you went through'
