Traffic Quiz: Do stop signs and red lights have the same traffic rules?

If you said no, then you are correct. You are also someone who knows how to drive. You probably wonder why I would ask such a ridiculous question. Unfortunately for, well, mankind as a whole, our winner today thought the answer was yes.

So this view isn't ideal for the setup, but we'll make it work. Ahead of us are four lanes of incoming traffic. The one on the left is the one I take to go to work, and I am stopped in the left (from this view the right) lane behind our winner. Our light is currently red, and the cars from the two lanes from the right have a green one.

Now, at this intersection, you can go straight across heading directly at the camera, or you can turn left down this little road on the immediate right of the camera. Well, our winner didn't feel like waiting for our own green light. He decides to go through the intersection and turn down that road, as cars are about to slam into him from the other lane. I hope that wherever he was going, it was imperative that he get there immediately.
