To think people who drive through an amber light are dicks...

...when they can see people waiting (in the opposite direction) to turn right?

Especially at busy junctions with fast changing lights.

You can see people ahead of you waiting for the stream of traffic to stop so they can complete their manoeuvre but you decide that you (as a dickhead who was tenth in the queue) gets priority.

I KNOW that legally you have right of way, but it's still dickish. AIBU?

If it's legal to do so, you should keep the flow of traffic going. As a pedestrian, I'm aware of were to cross, so the traffic is having to slow down, at safe points. There's so many drivers these days not driving with due care and attention, you could easily get rear-ended.

Where I live , if you don;t go through an amber light the dickhead behind you will rear end you .

I know it's the driver at the back that bears responsibility but it;s my back that would be knackered !
