Where? I’ve never seen anybody do that…

Probably in countries with intersections where the turns lack signals. In the Netherlands most of the time you can't even tell which colour the other signals have, because they point in the direction of the oncoming traffic they are for and have a cover that blocks light leaking out beyond that.
It does happen here in Belgium, at least in Antwerp. But I have to say this is the worst place I've seen in Europe regarding traffic rules violations, and people routinely drive on red at the slightest excuse.
