This is common to road design in general. Most drivers know that even after a left turning signal turns red, there is still a considerable amount of time before the parallel direction is given a green signal. They exploit this and it becomes a habit. Unfortunately, the streetcars change things, and drivers are not thinking about this, because they are operating on habit / instinct.
Indeed, it is indicative of bad driving habits, habitual risk taking and poor enforcement of existing traffic rules. You know, along the lines of the yellow meant stepping on the gas pedal kind of thing.
On another note you'd think crashing into a streetcar in such a manner is far, far less damaging overall than a T-bone between two cars.
