I'm bad about slamming on my breaks so I don't run a yellow or red light, lol. But sometimes I'm too close to it to stop.
Speed through, or Stop?

Some of the lights around there are just ridiculous. I delivered car parts for a while and there are some spots right around Lake Zurich where there are red light cameras and 4 second yellow lights. You can bet I slammed on my brakes for those every time.

One of our other drivers was driving the same car I normally did and ran a red light. So the ticket got sent to our store and my boss tried to make me pay it, until I showed him how to read the time/date stamp that showed him somebody else was behind the wheel.

Slow down, I'm crazy over caution while driving.
04/20/2011
I slow down. We live in a high senior populated town, and you just never know what some of them will do! Better to be safe, I think.

If I'm in a hurry or starving and on my way to get food - I'll race through ... as long as it hasn't been yellow for long before I get to the line.
It's not healthy to get between me and my food when I'm starving!

I like it when I decide to speed through the light and the jerkoff in front of me decides to STOP! Asshole.

I'm a maniac when I drive.

For me it depends on how long it's been yellow. If I feel like I can make it through the intersection before it turns red, I speed through... if not, I try to stop.
04/20/2011
I'm paranoid, so I always stop.
04/20/2011
It depends how much of a rush I'm in. Generally I'm in a rush so unless I absolutely know I'm going to be running the light I speed through it.
04/20/2011
I always slow down because you never know what the other people driving are doing! Better safe than sorry, I think.
04/20/2011
Depends how far I am.. but usually speed though lol

We're lucky enough to live way back in the boondocks so theres not any red light cams around here, Hell you tell most the people around here that red light cameras exist the're gonna think your reffering to a 35mm with a red flash lol

Stop. Always stop. My luck, something with happen if I don't.
04/22/2011
It depends on whether I think I can make it through before it turns red, and if there are any oncoming cars waiting to make a left through a yellow.
04/22/2011
I slow down and get ready to stop once the lights turn yellow - there are a lot of new red light cameras.
04/22/2011
I know what yall mean though i usually speed through i did have to slam brakes once today cause this other driver looked like he was definetly gonna go... he did lol
04/22/2011
If I think I can stop without getting rear ended, I might stop. I usually just speed thought thought.
05/01/2011
I generally slow down unless I'm right under it.
05/01/2011
I stop if I can do so safely, if not I speed through.
09/24/2011
Speed up
09/24/2011
Speed through
09/24/2011
I voted slow down, but with a caveat: If I am in a rush, I have been known to speed up--it all depends how close I am to the light and how safe it looks (and if I see any police cars!!).
11/12/2011
depends on the situation. usually slow down but if the coast is clear in all directions I roll through
11/12/2011
I'm a careful driver. I always stop.

Tough to answer. Depends on traffic, kind of stop (big intersection, vs tiny side street), time of day (day or night driving)...etc. Always safer to stop, unless a FAST road with folks on your bumper. Then, hitting the breaks is a formula for a rear end collision.

Most of the time, I slow down. I'm just paranoid that there will be a cop, and I'll get a ticket for a silly mistake.
11/12/2011
Speed through ALWAYS!
11/12/2011
Definitely speed up. I can't help it at this point in my life, it's almost instinctual.
