As you near a stale green light, you choose a point where you can no longer stop safely. What do you do at that point?

  1. Brake hard
  2. Keep going, even if the light turns yellow
  3. Turn right at once
  4. Stop at once, even if a car is close behind
Show answer

Correct answer: Keep going, even if the light turns yellow

Past that point a hard stop is unsafe. You go through and judge it so you clear the intersection before red.
