I had a similar experience while waiting at a red light
on my back to work after lunch. The light turned green,
I rolled forward, the car in front didn't move. I stopped,
looked again at the traffic signal and it was still red.
To this day I am convinced a neuron fired falsely; I
was fully conscious, never drink while working or driving,
but that light was seen as green while it was red.
Fortunately no accident occurred.

consider that it may well have been a defective light. I remember one
in particular where this happened to me several times. I finally
parked and watched it. the light would go green for a very few
seconds, then back to red.
More likely that it was retinal fatigue.
