thanks for the comments, it's not like i jump all the lights before i got my ticket anyway, and i ride everyday so i know where to position myself. that's what i always do. ride on the right to get to the lights and i sit right in front of them at the lights so they see me (and i chose to buy a bright yellow bag to give them no excuse). if i can't make it to the front i sit right in the middle of the lane as well i imagine myself as big as a car.
that idiot who did a u turn was coming from the opposite way so it wasn't a left hook, i left the set of lights on my side before it turned red and he decided to u-turn into my lane from the other side (he was obviously jumping a red light to do it).
