Not true in the first few states I checked. The closest is Wisconsin, where the motorist "must stop at a yellow light except when the motorist is so close to the intersection when the light turns yellow that it’s unsafe to do so" [1]. In other words, you're wrong. Also, there are multiple degrees of illegal, and I'm certain the punishment for running a yellow light isn't of the same magnitude as the punishment for running a red light. It seems that you like correcting people enough that you're biased towards believing in unintuitive things. 1: https://www.drivinglaws.org/resources/wisconsin-red-light-stop-sign-tickets.html https://www.drivinglaws.org/resources/wisconsin-red-light-st...
