Car turns right on red. Fine, no problem. Another car turns right
on red. No problem. But now my light is about to go green, and
these right-on-red people are not even looking at the light -
instead they're looking to their left for clear to turn right on
red, and following the car ahead turning right on red one after
another. Now my light is green and still they're ~streaming around
the right turn (now with the green light but either unaware that
I'm there or not caring.

That's why at a red light, "as far right as practicable" means blocking
the driver behind you, and preferably in a position that keeps him/her
from seeing to the left (right in U.K.)
