To be fair...there is no requirement to turn right on red. AFAIK.

I think that basic courtesy requires making an effort to proceed, without doing anything unsafe. There is room for individual variation in what one considers safe, but simply sitting there like a bump on a log is not appropriate. Similarly, I wouldn’t consider it appropriate to do 10km/h all the way down King St. just because one doesn’t feel safe driving faster — there are others who need to use the roads too.

I suspect most (or at least a significant portion) of the people on this forum are in favour of banning right on red completely. You may feel differently, but some view preserving the safety of others (specifically where the law gives them the freedom to make that judgement) at the expense of your convenience to be the courteous thing to do.
