When a car does it, it's because they know they're squeezing in the
gap between the change of the other direction's lights.

When a cyclist does it, they've *no intention* of stopping as they
seem to think that the rules of the road don't apply to them. As a
pedestrian, this annoys me. When I cycle, I obey traffic lights. I
also make use of pedestrian crossings to cross busy roads. Ho hum.

Very rarely will a driver blatantly go through a red light that wasn't
just in the process of changing colour.
