I can tell you that on those lights with cameras I WILL LOCK UP THE BRAKES if that damn thing even thinks about turning yellow. I do not give a damn about the person behind me. If they hit me they will pay for the wreck.
I cannot begin to tell you how many wrecks we have here at intersections with cameras. The cities will shorten the yellow light so that the damn thing just barely blinks and goes to red and then you get a ticket. That is why I will hit the brakes.
I have seem people hit from behind probably 20-25 times since the cameras went up. That is only the ones I saw.
Hitting the breaks and letting the person behind you hit you is a win / win. The city gets to send out an officer to do an accident report, you get a new back bumper and paint job and the case against those damn light cameras is going up in flames.
I have not yet been hit but I have a big honking trailer hitch just waiting to get a BMW grill!
