The light ahead changes from green to steady yellow. You are so close to the stop line that a stop would need very hard braking, and a car follows close behind you. What should you do?
Blue car A is just before the stop line under a steady yellow signal. Silver car B follows close behind in the same lane; the question card states that the light has just changed from green.
Correct answer: Continue through the intersection with care.
Why
When a steady yellow light appears and you have room, slow down and prepare to stop before the line. As you approach an intersection, notice how long the light has been green, so the change does not surprise you. Keep a safe following distance too, because a driver close behind makes a sudden stop more dangerous.
