What do you usually do when you approach a yellow light while driving?
It’s very much a case of distance from the light when it changes, my speed and weather / road conditions.
i also check behind me, I have great brakes in both my cars but if there is an HGV behind me, they might not appreciate me jamming on the anchors lol.
i do not unless really close ever go through an Amber.
i know just how quick I am on the green, a sports auto with AWD is banging of the line very fast.
We have red light cameras here and if you run it and mistime it, then you end up with 3 points.

It depends how far I am from the yellow light because if I´m closer than 20m (or about 21yrd) I speed up. If I´m above that I slow down. Though in Germany one learns in driving lessons that you should speed up within 40m ( about 43 yrds) from the yellow light, I couldn´t do that because of my old car that takes longer to speed up.

u Lmao. Just happened less than 10 minutes ago. Currently a passenger in a funeral home removal car. Driver went through a yellow light that turned red before he cleared the intersection. We got pulled over, but the police officer recognized me (and called me Shirley lol) so he got off with a warning. For me it’s a judgment call. If someone is following too close or if I think I’ll end up stopping in the intersection I’ll drive on through.

People fly through red here and not a small town. I caught 9 on my helmet cam in fifteen min of riding the other night. Thinking of creating a wall of shameful local drivers.
Due to this it’s not always safe to slow or stop at a yellow with an ass behind you. So it depends on how visible I am (if on my bikes) and also the conditions of the entire intersection itself. - 2K opinions shared on Other topic.
It depends if I know the light or not. If I'm familiar with the timing of that particular light, I might try to beat it if I think I have a reasonable chance. But if I'm not familiar with that light, then I don't take any chances, because I don't know how fast it's going to change.

If there is blinking yellow lights that are sign to approach but with caution and slow
these lights could happen at a entrance of a hospital or even a school all depends on sometimes these yellow lights are put on when the other lights are temporary disabled - https://www.youtube.com/embed/T2PAkPp0_bY
but really, not really i'm more prone to getting ready too stop. too many cops around these parts XD

If I’m driving at the limit I slow down, but if I’m going a little faster (think of LA driving) I’ll go through the light if braking would cause me to smash on my brakes.

-
If I am too close to stop in a safe manner I go through the light as this is one of the road rules here however if I have Enough breaking distance to safely stop I will stop

I don't know 😂

I live in New York so I have to stop or the camera will catch me and you can't fight that
-
If it changes in good time I'll stop. If it changes at the last moment I'll go on through. You don't want to slam on the brakes and get rear-ended.

Depends how soon it just changed on whether I can make it through it safely or if I have enough time to stop

I slow down and stop, unless I am already in the intersection.
-
I go faster to make it, but it depends if I’m close, if I’m far away I’ll slow down and stop.
-
I see the distance between the me and the cross line. If it’s less, then I drive fast. If it’s far, I’ll slow down

I do this
-
Calculate my speed and distance from the intersection to determine if I can stop before the intersection and if I can make it through the light. If both are true then I choose based on how much of a hurry I am in.

slow the fuck down or stop. God knows where those cameras are
-
If there’s barely anyone on the road and I know I won’t get into an accident I punch it
