It doesn't matter what harm he was doing. Potential damage is of some

Oh give it a rest. The law is impotent if it doesn't have common
consent and the majority ignore it.

Are you going to take a similar view to bikes jumping red lights?

If not, what's the difference?

Traffic lights exist to prevent gridlock.

There's a certain amount of evidence to show that is not necessarily true.
Also traffic lights have been used to create congestion.

But that's not the problem caused by cyclists (and drivers) who jump red
lights.
