When I come into a town or city, I turn off the radio or any other noise so that I can hear any emergency vehicles that may come and I consider the yellow light a warning light. Be cautious how you proceed. Be safe.

Whenever I approach a light, I decide at what point I'll stop if it turns yellow. But, like you, I won't slam on the brakes if someone is close behind me. I actually got a ticket once for speeding up for a yellow light. I still speed up though if needed.

I will stop if I can and if no one is close behind me.
When stopped at a red and it turns green, I wait to make sure everyone whose light has just turned red is stopped before I go. Drives my husband nuts, but too many run the lights here.

Oh, yes, speed limits are definitely suggestions! I got a new car and was told not to exceed 50 mph for the for 500 miles to break the engine in. I about got blown off the tollway driving 50!

My husband recently got a warning ticket for going thru on yellow when it turned red before he got thru the intersection. The policeman said it was the same as running a red light. Thankfully he did not issue a ticket, but now we stop on yellow.

I was a bus driver and it happened every year the first day of school, a driver would go thru the yellow, and it would turn red on the back half of the bus and get a ticket for the rear of the bus. this never happened to me thank goodness, but it happened every year like clock work. it was almost a contest to see who would get the ticket.
