As for the "red light cameras cause accidents" people - that means there are two idiots in play. One who almost ran the original red light and the one behind him who isn't paying attention to either the light or the person in front AND following to close to stop?

IMHO, people who run red lights are self centered a-holes who don't care if they cause accidents or injury to other people, so long as they aren't inconvenienced by having to *GASP* obey the law.
Life must really be simple when everything in your world is either black or white. The problem with your "He would have hit me defense" is that it doesn't hold up in court. It could, but no guarantee. If you hit the brakes for a shortened (to increase revenue) yellow & get rear ended, you're still screwed.
