I cycle and yes a few red lights get passed. Generally I stop but that is not a golden rule.
I also do a little bit of dog walking and have to cross the road with my sister's dog. Like yourself I was of the opinion that only cyclists jump lights, however, those same lights that I normally stop for (or perhaps not!), get routinely jumped by cars. I don't normally notice this when on the bike, but when waiting to cross with the dog I am surprised at how it is these motorists that do the light jumping. They also tail-gate each other through the lights after they have gone red at considerable speed. If they hit anyone then that would be a proper accident.
Ultimately it is human nature to want to jump lights and how educated someone is.
