Compare two yellow-light approaches: one too close for a safe stop and another where stopping is still possible.

Each section below follows an explanation or demonstration in the video. Select a section to play from that point, then practise the skill with appropriate supervision.
The driver assesses the stopping decision before reaching the light. In the first example, yellow appears when the vehicle is already too close for a safe stop, so the driver continues through without attempting an abrupt stop.
At the next light, this vehicle is still far enough back to stop safely. The car ahead continues because its position differs. Make your own stop-or-go judgment using your speed, available distance, and conditions rather than copying the vehicle in front.
