Enough already!!!!
It is IMPOSSIBLE to have an intelligent discussing on this thread which you started. You keep changing the question after we answer.
Waa-a-a-a-a-y back (post #13, see below) I posited two scenarios, one like this, and one about accepting an invite from an overly cautious driver. You specifically said it was about the second, and posited all sorts of other car scenarios.

OTOH - if the OP taking about about situations where drivers are simply trying to be courteous then I don't consider this an issue at all. If you don't create a situation where the driver feels he must yield, then (other considerations permitting) why not accept it as an act of good will. .......
Now you're posting about something that's back to the first scenario which we all agree is dumb and has NOTHING to do with your BS about if drivers yield right of way when they have the light.
What next? some cyclist racing across a 8 lane freeway and causing a 50 car chain reaction collision?
You're big of "rules" so how about two here. When you start a thread on a point, stay on point and stop trolling your own thread.
Also, if you ask opinions, accept those offered rather than arguing pointless.
BTW- I'm sure you're aware that you've made no friends on this thread. I'm sure that people have formed their own opinions, and so have I. Your attitude seems more in line with that of a driver who was once cut off by an obnoxious cyclist and is now here to troll.
