Doesn't anyone take notice of amber lights any more?

Waiting to turn right on a junction, expecting to go, and cars in the opposite direction going through when they shouldn't?
Yep, get this plenty. I usually creep or jump when the light is amber to show them that I'm intending to go as I should. Sometimes they stop, but even if they don't they'll usually get the message and sometimes even a fright!

This used to happen to me at a crossroads I used regularly, trouble was that my right turn lane continued through the lights to a give way line halfway across the junction. Also most of the oncoming traffic would be turning left into the same road I wanted to turn right into. So my light would go green, I'd advance halfway across the junction to the give-way line, and wait for a gap. Usually this meant I was still sitting there glaring furiously at 2 or 3 oncoming cars jumping their red light and turning left. Preventing me from getting out of the way of the cars emerging on green lights from the road I was trying to turn into, and who couldn't cross the junction as I was blocking them! I lost it once and gave one of the offending RLJs a blast on the hooter as he blocked my half-completed turn by shooting through the red light and turning left across my bows. He stopped in front of me for about 10 seconds causing me to block almost the entire junction, then carried on up the road, alternately accelerating and emergency stopping in front of me, for about 100 yards, while giving me the finger!
