Well...Heres a story that you probably wont bother to read, but I'll throw a TLDR at the bottom.

A few months after I passed my driving test I got a job with a company car. With (almost no - other than driving lessons) real world driving experience, I was tasked with driving 7 (including myself) workers from Liverpool to London on Mondays, drive around London for the week (to and from worksites) and then return from London to Liverpool on Fridays.

I had never seen a roundabout with traffic lights on it. But apparently there was one where I was working. My brain totally failed me and I drove around the roundabout as normal - not believing the traffic lights were for me. (Traffic lights on a roundabout?! Really?!) So I blew through about three red lights without noticing, although I was wondering why the 6 workers in the car were all shouting and screaming at me.

I couldn't make out what they were saying with all the shouting, and I couldn't stop in the middle of a roundabout, and so I kept going until several cars started beeping at me, and then I realized what I had done.

So yeah my remaining months working for that company were surrounded by people shouting "DAVID STOP THERE IS A RED LIGHT" at every red light. And people feeling the need to alert me to any red lights in general.

TLDR Drove through several red lights without noticing until it was too late and never lived it down.

To this day I think...How the fuck did I escape an accident. It was a fucking busy rounadbout off of a motorway junction. 40mph speed limit IIRC
