Assuming you see it coming and have space to maneuver. Taking into account driver reaction time and the sitting car's inertia, you likely couldn't avoid a serious accident sitting at light doing it or not.
It might mean the difference for a fender bender, and if near misses at lights were a weekly or even monthly occurance, I wouldn't FAS then. But they aren't.
