RACV 标准答案
Many drivers see traffic signals change to yellow as they approach an intersection and think “I’ll make it through before it changes to red, that’s OK”. But is it?
The problem with this thinking is that the yellow (or ‘amber’) light shows for about three to four seconds, depending on the speed limit. So by the time you see the yellow light, think about stopping and then drive through the intersection, chances are you’ve left it too late.
In our busy world, we are often in a hurry and can have the attitude that “that rule doesn’t apply to me because I need to get where I need to go ASAP”. Drivers will ignore road rules to suit their needs.
Can we legally drive through a yellow?
The road rules state that when you approach a yellow light you must stop if you are safely able to do so before reaching the stop line. If not before the stop line, then before entering the intersection. VicRoads’ website states that for a yellow light, you must stop unless you can’t stop safely. Most of us are a little lax in our application of this rule.
Drivers’ behaviour suggests they think of the yellow light as an extension of the green, rather than as a warning to stop at the imminent red. A better way to think of the yellow is that it is at the start of the red, not at the end of the green.
