There was a vehicle I'd see on my daily commute for awhile. It would run every red light on one of the larger streets in my city, but the driver would slow down to make sure no one was coming.
The unfortunate thing was that due to the timing, I could easily and legally follow about 3-4 seconds behind the vehicle as the green lights are timed and the driver just happened to be a bit ahead of the cycle. I witnessed them more than a few times.
Sounds like pretty safe driving to me.
Safe-ish, until some other driver on the crossing road approaches way faster than estimated, sees the light go yellow and floors it. Sure, they might see it in time, but there's a risk they don't. My dad once didn't see a crossing car at a yield intersection despite looking that way and got T-boned. He didn't think he was doing anything unsafe either.
Still safer than just blazing through though, so I guess partial credit for being carefully impatient?
