I'm guessing there's "oh shit..." stories as well??
Was coming down the hill towards a set of traffic lights at a crossroad as they turned green, so started speeding up to catch the lights. As I got about twenty metres or so from the lights they turned red and the cars going across the intersection started driving off from the lights... I hit the brake a couple of times but had no time to slow down enough before I sped across the road, and slotted in between two cars speeding across the intersection....NEVER AGAIN!!
yes I have learnt my lesson and always look ahead for lights and traffic.
