Brilliant - reminds me of driving in Turkey - although they have stop lights there it appears to be "wimpish" to stop at a red light, use indicators, or drive without one hand on the horn - my experience over a few thousand miles of driving there (sorry cem) - but have to say thorougly enjoyed the experience, including driving along/through rivers when the road stopped and no bridge - at the end of the day not my car - a hire car ;)

I wouldn't say that bus jumped a red.  The phasing of those lights will be close together due to the retarded stop line.

my experience  is that my people behave like there is no traffic lights and no rules..


however, at some certain locations it become a real mess in rush hour.. and still no one needs to look at traffic lights >:(
