So now you’ve completely ignored the “if you can” part of your own statement and are implying that you must come to a stop on a yellow.

What I am saying is that if you’re slamming on your brakes at a yellow you’re doing it wrong and in the process creating a potentially dangerous situation for others.

If you are at a point where you feel the need to slam on your brakes, the correct action is to continue through the intersection. Someone else mentioned that red light cameras are a big source of blame and I agree with what because they’re probably thinking “oh no! Red light equals instant ticket!”
