The DMV in California just dropped a one-page driver’s manual, and it’s pretty straightforward:

“A yellow light means get ready to stop, not floor it like you’re in a race.”

Honestly, maybe it’s time we switched up the order of the traffic lights. People seem to think green means “take a nap” and yellow is the “go-go-go!” light. If we swapped them around, maybe drivers would finally understand that yellow isn’t an invitation to channel your inner racecar driver.
