WTF? Is this some kind of joke?

"In this illustration, the driver of the red car observes that his light is about to turn red."

This means you lost your chance to turn left. (on a yellow you must stop if it is safe to do so, and you are already stopped) You must wait until you get a green light. Your frustration and impatience does not grant you the right to disobey traffic laws.

"This driver is under the impression that the opposing signal is turning red as well, and that the blue car will come to a stop."

Even if the opposing signal really were turning red, only the most suicidal/homicidal driver would assume that the other car will correctly stop. He may be a bad driver or face unexpected difficulty in stopping.
