You might have pissed a few folk off a little bit but by tomorrow they will have forgotten and no one was hurt. Just a mistake

Just before Xmas I had stopped at KFC, got a drive thru and I put my coke in the cup holder in the glovebox in my coupe, as i started turning out the car park the coke tipped over, and for some reason my instant reaction was to let go of the wheel and catch the cup, as I did that my car flicked back straight and was heading for one of those yellow height restriction poles, managed to just swerve past it, after my brain decided to leave the coke. So glad i didn't hit the post, would of felt a right dickhead then.
Spilt coke or a missing bumper hmmmmmmmm

I've done that but nobody was around
I have also gone through a red a few times. It's a nightmare in some places in London, there's so many fucking traffic lights it gets so confusing. Fortunately nothing bad has come of it but it shits you up once you realise it's too late

In all fairness this could be avoided if you were not constantly thinking about accidents to cause in order for an excuse to get the cammera out

I've done that before, sat at a set of lights and I'm sure I saw a set of lights change to green, I went and it was only once I'd left the junction my brother said you went through on red then, I then looked in my rear view mirror and the junction was still completely empty 
Don't know what lights I'd seen change, I can only think it was the pedestrians green light 
I've seen other people do it as well tho, your sat there then the car in front just pulls away when the lights are still red
I nearly caused an accident once too, going round a roundabout, some ways on were traffic light controlled, others weren't. I'd never been round there before, noticed I was in the wrong lane, looked behind to make sure I could move over, as I looked back round I saw the red light and a Laguna coming onto the roundabout, if I'd braked I'd of hit him so I put my toe down and hoped for the best, ended up alright apart from the police car that was behind the Laguna who pulled my up and give me 3 points and a £60 fine  Bugger

Genuine mistakes are forgivable mate.
I had some wanker in a range rover going in the opposite direction but in a box waiting to turn right (there was another car in front of him waiting to turn right too) Just turn into my path and even jumped the queue  tosser

I did it before on a dual carrageway, at a crossroads, It was night time and I seen the green man light up out the corner of my eye and shot off I was wondering why my mate didnt follow and then quickly recalled not actually seeing a green light and then saw the traffic start moving accross the dirction I had just come from, I shit one thinking how bad it could have been

this was a dual carriage way also. there were 2 cars approaching from my left that hadn't slowed down as they were not at the lights before they went green. luckily there was only one on the right which was closer and he had been sat waiting for the green light so was only doing 10mph if that.

yeah pretty much. i couldn't really see their faces because my rear window is blacked out. there was a lot of beeping going on though! went through the same junction on my way home before and it well made me cringe. just glad there was no coppers there.
