Not really a "doh" moment, I had the green light but a pack of peds decided to cross just as I was coming along, so I shouted and used my brakes but at the same moment my front brake cable came off. My back brake did the slowing (I ride ss) and the peds stopped crossing. It could have happened at a far worse moment and once sorted the rest of my journey was done with paranoia in my hands.
