I failed my Class1 first time, but in all fairness I was getting married the next day…
I went through a GREEN filter light just as it extinguished, and traffic started moving. I’d probably have been penalised for stopping at it too! Damned if you do and damned if you don’t…
If you think you’re going to clip the curb to get out or around something, make it known by telling the guy, same for pulling out in front of moving traffic - you’ll get marked down on hesitation otherwise.
