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

, until I noticed my wife was cringing when I was driving.

She told me that I was a bad driver.
(Now, no one else has ever said that to me, whether out of fear or fear of retribution, I don't know!)

I guess I'm glad that other people drive defensively too. I used to slow down for yellow lights, until my wife said

I should continue through them or I might get hit from behind.

So I am a changed driver now, living on the edge of the yellow
