Because he drove a truck, stopping it and then getting it moving again took considerable amount of energy. Much more than what a pedestrian would require. As such, he considered himself having the drive of way over pedestrians and the heavier the vehicle he was driving, the better the reason he had to run the lights. And if necessary, over pedestrians. Yes, he was an arse.
