When dealing with motor vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians, it makes sense to follow the law, and be a little more cautious, given that the results of wanting to save 60 seconds could turn fatal.
Guy, if it isn't safe I wouldn't run it. That's my whole point. If the light was green and it was safe to go, and one second later the light turned yellow, it is very likely still safe to go on which case you should.
