Traffic lights are natural accident hotspots despite the fact they’re there to prevent accidents and keep the flow of traffic moving as easily as possible. But most people in the UK live such busy lives that we’re constantly rushing around, and we’re all too tempted to ‘amber gamble’ or jump a just turned red light when driving; or cross a crossing when the lights are not in our favour.
