It doesn’t matter if you’re on the right or wrong side of the road, it’s always better to practice defensive driving.

A defensive driver prefers to waste a few extra seconds and let someone go through than risk suffering the consequences.

It’s not clear who tried to squeeze through the lane before the green light went on, but both of them attempted to get a head start and well, they paid the (insurance) price for it.
