My point is:  Too many people try to stop at a yellow light when they shouldn't.  If you're doing 45 mph and the light turns yellow and you're just about to enter the intersection, you darn well better not try to stop!  Especially when it's icy out.  And there is, in the driver's manual, instruction for just that occasion:  Honk your horn and go through if you can't stop to alert other drivers. 

I didn't say anything about speeding up to make it through a yellow.  However, if you know you can make it through the yellow before it turns red, please do so.
