Just witnessed an accident 3839

Steady Yellow Signal This means that the signal is changing from green to red. Its purpose is to provide time for approaching traffic to stop safely and to clear other vehicles from the intersection before the light turns red. If you are too close to the intersection to stop safely, continue through the intersection with care.

On the written test, the question is written:

What does a steady yellow light mean?

Yeah, but the way things are decided in this nation there is no legal responsibility with regards to what is behind you. You can legally cut someone off while going much slower than they are...

A. Proceed with caution B. Stop or clear the intersection (whichever is safest) C. Slow down D. Firetrucks are coming.

The correct answer is B.

I was on a 50mph route today. About 5-7 car lengths away the light turned yellow. The group of cars and trucks ahead of me by several car lengths went through the intersection. My pack all braked steady and a touch hard (we were cruising down a hill). No accidents.

General rule of thumb is if you see a yellow light you must try to stop at the very least. If it's apparent you'll end up in the intersection then you must clear it, but in no way do you buttume you have the right of way or speed through. Those who try beating a light are just in a race to their ceremonys.
