Although, for safety’s sake, I (who am not the article author, and not a race driver, but have a lot of opinions anyway...) actually go out of my way NOT to fly straight through a fresh green at full speed. In fact, my approximate goal is to avoid going through a very fresh green any faster than someone starting from a dead stop. Because that’s the amount of time that an aggressive red-light runner in the crossing direction believes they have to “safely” get through. (And they’re in the wrong, and I absolutely have the right of way, and I don’t want “he absolutely had the right of way” on my tombstone.)
+1 I have seen enough people run red lights that I try to always look carefully, left and right, before crossing an intersection when the light turns green.
