2 seconds to death!

Yesterday evening, my wife and myself went out for a walk and while coming back we had to cross a very busy road (Sheikh Zayed Road, off Karama area). To cross this road, there was a not-so-major signal installed to help pedestrians cross. So when we went to cross the road, the traffic signal was green and hence vehicles were zooming in, as usual, in their 80-100 kmph speed. After few seconds, the signal became red and pedestrian signal showed green to cross. Cars in the first 2 lanes stopped and the 3rd lane was pretty open with no cars coming near. So when we were about to cross the road, out of nowhere a car zoomed-in the 3rd lane and went past...Probably s/he would be in 60-80kmph speed! Some of us at the signal were bit shocked for a second since if we would have started crossing the road, then we would be hit by that stupid car and definitely some bones would have cracked! God knows why these kind of people still exist in a place where traffic violations are strict and 99% of the people conduct themselves well and adhere to the traffic. These kind of people should be fined heavily (wish I could notice the car registration number so as to inform RTA and register a complaint!). What s/he achieved by zooming like that even when the signal is red? Couldn't s/he followed the rules and waited in that signal for few seconds before s/he could zoom again! So stupid of these people; they put others lives at risk as well risk their own life!
