The answer is yes!!
Even if you think you have the right of way, do not take it for granted.
I was involved in an accident in this scenario.
I moved into the middle of the road trying to "take the road" so I would be allowed to complete my turn left
My light turned red and I saw oncoming traffic slowing down making me think their light turned red, so I proceeded.
One car did not slow down and rammed into the side of my truck. I took it for granted they would slow down or stop but they did not.
According to the law, since I was turning into oncoming traffic lanes I was At Fault. The thing is I was not ticketed for this as I believe the car that hit me was either speeding or ran their light.
It was just listed as an unfortunate accident. The problem is I lost the use of my vehicle.
So take care to follow the rules' and be safe the price is to high to take it for granted.
I am only thankful that no one was hurt in my accident.
Be safe!
