>Well, for one people do not expect drivers to stop at a green light, like was the case here.

This is bad driving. You use the brake lights (and if you haven't seen the break lights working, you use the visual speed til you confirm the break lights are working) to determine of a car is going to stop. You should never put yourself in a position where any other factors are involved in if the car in front of you will stop or not.

> a green light is a strong signal that makes people assume the other drivers are moving or are going to.

And such drivers are to be held responsible for crashes and should be educated when found. Those who do not change should lose the privilege of driving.
