The state of the LEDs doesn't mean anything for safety. It is however dangerous to impede on opposing traffic's right of way. Reds don't provide protection, it's just a clear signal for right of way. It's also dangerous AF to drive assuming green lights give protection. It's just right of way.

    Do you think running reds doesn't risk lives then, wise -ass?

    It doesn't necessarily risk lives. "Running red" is dependent on the state of some LEDs. It's dangerous to impede the right of way of a vehicle traveling at high speeds. It's much less dangerous to run a red that's been red for one second rather than, say, 15.

    Driving itself risks lives.
