If you accidentally did not see the yellow light or were driving to fast to prevent safely slowing down and stopping at it then you are just not paying attention, do not give a fuck about others safety, or feel that the rules should not apply to you.
Buying a spray just to prevent punishment from what you perceive to be mistakes or accidental occurences just goes to show that you do not care about others. Of course this spray will not prevent a real accident.

You should learn more about these cameras before you rush to make a decision. These are installed for the sole purpose of generating income and nothing more.
The camera manufacturers split the revenue from traffic tickets with the city that installs them. So the camera companies have a profit motive to entrap as many motorists as possible.
Many times the camera companies shave off the time a yellow light is displayed anywhere from one half second to several seconds, this way they catch people who (before the yellow was shaved) would have safely made it through before turning red.
On top of this you have other more common instances where your vehicle is in the middle of an intersection trying to make a turn and you're waiting for traffic to clear up in the opposiing lane. Sometimes the traffic never clears up until the lights turn red - in which case you would get a ticket from these cameras.
If you think these cameras have anything whatsoever to do with safety concerns, you are being naive. If that were the case the cities wouldn't allow the camera companies to fuck around with the time a yellow light is displayed.
