especially when your bit was all irrelevant from the get go, including missing the point,
the point is you can increase or decrease the odds of accidents and the severity, regardless of fault, by how you drive & decisions you make
defensive driving is a recognized method
just because you have a green light doesn't mean that's all that mainly maters & you are good to go - zip by in a right lane, when others going in the same direction are barely moving, just for one, when there are other easy, better safer, alternatives
there's also an overall picture that can & should always also be considered on any green and at intersections, even generally while driving

bikers of course in particular, mostly get hammered, whatever plays out
