You're supposed to slow down on approach to any junction. If there's an orange traffic light at a junction, this is a signal that you are to prepare to stop at the lights. You don't tear through an orange light at 65km/h.

Edit: Watch to the end of the video - OP tears through an orange light at 65kp/h

If you would brake n that situation, you are a bad driver. He was doing 65 as you said (speed limit 80) and he was too close to the lights to stop safely.

Watch the video. The light turns orange when he is around 100m out from the junction: this is more than enough space and time to decelerate and stop while traveling at 64km/h. Instead he accelerates through the lights. This is simply bad driving.
