What should you do when approaching a steady yellow light?

Stop if you can do so safely
Increase your speed to beat the red light
Go through the intersection without slowing down
Continue driving at the same speed

The correct answer is: Stop if you can do so safely

Approaching a steady yellow light means that the signal is about to change to red. Option B is incorrect because increasing your speed to beat the light is not a safe or legal maneuver. Option C is incorrect because it is illegal to go through an intersection during a yellow light, unless it is unsafe to stop. Option D is incorrect because it is important to slow down and prepare to stop when approaching a yellow light, as continuing at the same speed could lead to running a red light. Option A is the best choice as it promotes safe and legal driving by allowing a driver to stop if they are able to do so safely.
