When faced with a yellow traffic light while driving at a moderate speed, what is the best action?

Speed through the light
Stop, if you can do it in time
Ignore it and continue driving
Prepare to turn left

The correct answer is: Stop, if you can do it in time

When you encounter a yellow traffic light while driving, the best action is to stop if it is safe to do so. A yellow light indicates that the signal is about to change to red, giving drivers a warning that they should prepare to stop. The purpose of a yellow light is to alert you that the green light phase is ending, and you should not enter the intersection unless you are already committed to it. By stopping when you see a yellow light, you help to prevent potential accidents and ensure that the intersection can clear for traffic that will be moving on the green light. It's important to assess your speed and distance from the intersection to determine whether you can safely stop. If you are very close to the intersection and cannot stop safely, continuing through the intersection may be necessary, but typically, stopping is the safest option if time and distance allow for it.
