a good driver could have avoided most, if not all of those.

it's never a good idea to proceed into the path of an oncoming
vehicle,
regardless of the colour of the light.

If you can see it coming but not if it is hidden behind other
traffic.

even then.

Precognition?

no.

defensive driving.

How can you defend yourself against something which shouldn't be there
and is hidden from you?

by proceeding with caution until it's no longer hidden. driving 101.

if you blindly pull into traffic without looking, then your license
should be revoked.

Typical subject shift.

nope. it's exactly on topic.

If you blindly pull out into the traffic then
you are not the innocent party. (See the first line of this post).

the video in that first line of your post shows numerous vehicles
blindly pulling into traffic.

they *assumed* that since the light was green, those with a red light
on the cross street would stop, without having actually checked if that
was the case.
