What state, please?  And cite the law.  This is posted in va.general
and dc.driving;  DC has a stop-on-yellow law.  Virginia's law, last I
looked, wasn't 100% unambiguous.

Seems to me that if you're in that 'dilemma zone', speeding up is the
best thing to do.  It gets you through the light with the least chance
of getting nailed by the red light.  The worst thing to do is to slow
down when you don't intend to stop.
