Theoretically you should never have to "slam" on your brakes, though. When the light turns yellow you make a decision to either stop (with normal braking power) or not to stop. The decision is based on whether stopping with normal braking power is possible before the intersection. That method has worked fine for me. If someone behind you can't handle the fact that you used normal braking power to stop, then I'd be afraid to stop anywhere.The important thing is to not second-guess. Make a decision and stick with it. Another important detail is that you are at least somewhat close to the speed limit as you approach the intersection. If you're going way over, then the decision is no longer based on whether you can stop with normal braking power but rather if you can beat the light. |
