It all depends on how close I am to the intersection.

If I am close, I gun it, if I can see the light turn yellow and I am more than a couple hundred feet away, I just stop.

I see no reason to risk my life (and others) to save 3 mins.

Yellow means hurry up and get your ass thru..the light is about to change to red...and Red means stop. 

Seriously though, I am a careful driver, but I have been known on occassion to do just that....but I live in a small town....now if it was a light at a 6 lane interesection...I am cautious and stop.

I used to think I was a careful driver `Dr!v, until I noticed my wife was cringing when I was driving.  g@@4  She told me that I was a bad driver.   :o 
(Now, no one else has ever said that to me, whether out of fear or fear of retribution, I don't know!)  b@n*
I guess I'm glad that other people drive defensively too.  I used to slow down for yellow lights, until my wife said   :Xo! I should continue through them or I might get hit from behind.  :x!  So I am a changed driver now, living on the edge of the yellow  $d^vC
