A bit of that. I remember in Graeme Obree's book he said how he was going for a comp record and he just pulled out onto a roundabout without looking. Justification being that if he didn't get the record he would rather not live.
I've never felt quite so strongly about any TT but you'll find you get a lot better at judging how to get out of junctions effectively - use the width of the road to get in the best place to avoid both having to stop and being splattered by a car, judge how much time you actually need to cross a road, what gaps you can squeeze through, etc.
