This whole "treat yellow like red" thing always seemed counterintuitive to me. Isn't the purpose of a yellow light to warn drivers to slow down, not slam on the brakes? I understand the safety aspect, especially if you're right at the intersection, but what about those times when you're a good distance away and slamming on the brakes could actually cause an accident? It feels like a rule that was designed for an ideal world, not the chaos of real-world driving. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for following traffic laws, but I think this particular rule needs a bit more nuance.

I remember when I took my driving test, I was so nervous that I stalled the car right in the middle of an intersection. My heart was pounding, my face was red, and I thought for sure I had failed. But the examiner was surprisingly calm, he just told me to take a deep breath and try again. I managed to get the car going and eventually passed the test, but that experience taught me a valuable lesson about staying calm under pressure. Now, whenever I'm feeling anxious behind the wheel, I just remember that moment and it helps me to focus on the task at hand.
