I'm not sure if I misunderstand you, but that seems dangerous What if it changes to yellow just before you get to the line, are you supposed to slam on the breaks or risk getting a fine for going through on amber?
In the UK the amber means "prepare to stop" but only if you can do so safely. If you are too close to stop then you should carry on through (which should be safe as all other lights should be red at this point).
- jmnicolas 7y agoYellow lights are in a gray area (pun intended ;-) You're supposed to stop safely but you're supposed to have "mastery of your vehicle" at all time. So basically it all boils down to the mood of the cops. I would say it's not frequent to be fined for a yellow (never happened to me in more than 20 years of driving) but I'm pretty sure it would fail your driving license exam. I think (but I'm not sure) that traffic light cameras only catch red lights.
