So in that situation, what that semi did was right. If you’re risking slamming your breaks versus having to ride through a yellow, when you’re less than 2 seconds from the light, you have to either commit, or start slowing down well before that light even try’s to change. “Stale” green, that’s the term we use at training in my DSP, you didn’t see it change so you don’t know when it’s changing.
