yah, similar thing happend to me about a week or so ago when some hellaflushatoilet MR2 wanted to race me and i just slowed down to deny his invite. intersection ahead for us had a green light but then some dumbF just blew a redlight and went right through the intersection at 45+. if i would've responded to the ricor MR2, he wouldve been t-boned.
i had to really slow down to make sure the light wasn't broken or something when i approached the intersection.
