@Cuddles: "... for a red light it needs to be something like getting out the way of an emergency vehicle..."

A lot of people think this, but it isn't true. Crossing a red light for an emergency vehicle is (in the UK) illegal and can land you with a fine - the same for pulling into a bus-only lane. In general, this only applies if a camera catches you, and then you'd gave to take your chances with the magistrates.
