When the traffic light turns yellow, do you slow down and stop or do you speed up and go on through it?

AB · 06-16-2007, 05:09 PM

I usually go through them if I'm pretty close.

I do the same. But it just irritates me when I see someone moving slow in front of me forcing me into that situation.

I'm the same way, unless there are red light cameras. In that case, I won't speed up a little because those things will catch you and take a picture. I don't want to get a ticket. It's so unnecessary.

Why do you think it turns yellow??? geez! you stop! People have been killed by idiots like that speeding through!!

catlover79 · 06-16-2007, 09:29 PM

Depends on how close I am to the light. If it turns yellow as I am about to approach the intersection, I'll speed up a bit and go through. If I am too far away and can clearly see I won't make it before the light turns red, I'll slow down and stop. It all depends.

Guilty as charged. I need to change some of my driving habits.

AB · 06-17-2007, 01:41 PM

I know I've set a bad example for my son by going through the lights on yellow, but its one of those hard habits to break. I'm pretty good at judging if I can make it through on yellow before it changes to red. If I think its going to be too close, I stop.

It's not that easy. People will honk at you and get all bent out of shape if you dare to even slow down during a yellow light. Here, green = go, yellow = go faster, red = slow down.

Sharop · 06-17-2007, 06:43 PM

There was an interview with the late actor River Phoenix and he was asked this question. He said, "I would most definitely slow down."

I'd slow down too, if I could drive.

Stormtracker TF · 06-17-2007, 07:56 PM

I slow down if I'm far enough away that I can slow down without getting rear ended, otherwise, no.

So if you run somebody over just say the person behind you was honking at you!

pretty much

AllIWantIsYourClutch · 06-18-2007, 01:37 AM

It depends. If I'm close, I'll go. If I'm kind of close, but someone is turning left, then I stop and let them go. If I'm kind of close and no one's there, then I speed up and go through it.

Sharop · 06-18-2007, 05:38 AM

It looks like you're in agreement with River, coffield.
