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!”

you’re replying to a different person…
either way, it doesn’t matter. If I have to slam on my brakes and you’re following too close for safety… that’s a you problem. Riding my ass doesn’t make the limit faster.
But also a you problem when you’re stuck with life long medical issues. Is that really worth it to not roll through a yellow light as the vast majority of drivers expect people to do?
