I'm on the same thinking as you are, the rule was set that way back in the day when they could have only one lane spot the other, it was one lane was the spotter lane (which was the faster car) and the other was the spotted lane.(slower car) Now that there are computers that can do almost any programming you want, there is no excuse not to have worse red light rule changed. Not everyone can afford a $100K vehicle so that they don't have to get a spot. Here's another reason for the rule change, why is the tree blocked from the other driver? Unblock the tree so that there is a distraction for the faster driver, there were no blocked tree's when there was a 5 bulb tree. There was all sort of distractions for the faster car back then. They faster cars shouldn't have both ways.
