When driving, what should you do if you see a yellow light?

Speed up to get through the light
Stop
Slow down
Swerve around the light

The correct answer is: Slow down

When driving, if you see a yellow light, you should slow down rather than speed up, stop, or swerve around the light. This is because yellow lights indicate that the traffic light is about to turn red. If you speed up, you might not make it through the light in time and potentially cause an accident. Stopping suddenly can also cause accidents if the cars behind you are not expecting it. Swerving around the light is dangerous as it can put you in the path of oncoming traffic or pedestrians. It is important to proceed with caution and slow down when approaching a yellow light.
