it must be the time of year
when brains switch off.

ive not been driving for a while and on a recent journey managed to approach a roundabout governed by lights, stop at the red lights, then let my mind wander a bit until i see some lights have gone green and there's no traffic coming from the right, so off i go. halfway into lane around the roundabout and i realise ive been looking at the set of lights for the next point along. d'oh! if im lucky there weren't cameras on top of the lights ...

still not quite as dumb as misreading roadsigns a couple of years ago and ending up on the wrong side of the road, thinking it was one way, only to be confronted by a van coming round the corner in what would have been a combined 80mph head on collision. oops.
