Most traffic lights at night we drive straight through and treat it as a 4 way stop. I was in Soweto when my tyres were slashed and managed to drive a decent distance to get help. This was broad daylight and people saw it happening. I was the only white guy in a black area so it was intentional and a hate crime. Being vigilant keeps you on your toes and I nearly drove over an attempted hijacker, but I missed whilst driving in reverse.

Damn, what an intense experience. I'd imagine you might be painted as the bad guy in that situation if you had run over the guy too. I'm surprised more people aren't getting run over these days with all of the rioting that is taking place and people swarming around cars.
They just become speed bumps and need to learn. This guy who was approaching my vehicle was spotted in my side mirror and why you pay attention. He was about 5 meters away and it was so close for him and myself.
Good thing you were aware of your surroundings, as this is definitely a situation where it pays to be present.
