Ouch!A friend was once given a biopsy by a sleep-deprived junior doctor.
They needed a sample of his colon, so inserted the long bendy jaws-on-the-end thingy, located the suspect area and... he shot through the ceiling. Doctor had forgotten to administer any anaesthetic.
What was your ouchiest moment?

ANYONE jumping red lightsis committing an offence. Big deal, not a problem you might think. We all stretch the yellows and we all do 32 on that long straight bit near work.
BUT red lights are there to establish a safe traffic flow. If you follow the system, you CANNOT crash or hurt anyone (or if you do, it's the fault of the council who set up the timing). Not just "it lowers the risk" like speed cameras are supposed to do. You cannot crash. Which means that blind people can cross the road at the beeps with no risk. Drivers can set off on a green light and know that no-one's going to smack into the side of them coming out of the arm of the junction.
Jumping red lights is so, so much more dangerous than speeding that it's horrifying that you two-wheeled types are so keen on it.
Saying that, watching two red-light jumping cyclists run into one another was the funniest thing I've ever seen.
