I am trying to be cautious here but .... unless there is absolutely nothing approaching a junction and i know have a clear run.. i am very wary about approaching lights etc at speed..... i would be easing back and have the brakes covered, it has got me out of a lot of situations that could have been a lot worse...
Please do not think i am saying you contributed, we should be able to go through lights/junctions at similar speeds to that which a vehicle might be travelling... when the situation is our favour.... it is just if i know there is likely to be traffic turning across me i am ultra cautious... and even more so since a driver in a similar situation to yours, landed me on the deck and off work for 6 months...
