i see this increasingly as well. the lights at the junction of the a2 and
m25 seems to be a particularly irresistible one, as is the junction of the
west india dock road and the a13.
it's not confined to red lights though. giving way to pedestrians at zebra
crossings appears to be regarded largely as optional, and i honestly
can't remember the last time i saw a vehicle giving way to a pedestrian
while turning into a t-junction (highway code rule 170). it's just that
the british are a lot more selfish and inconsiderate these days.
