Most traffic signals flash three colours: Red, Amber and Green. When the signal turns red, you must stop, when it turns amber, slow down and wait, and when it turns green, go.
If you’re too close to the line at the time the light turns amber, you may be committed, and braking sharply could lead to an accident. Technically it’s legal to go through an amber light, but ideally you shouldn’t do this unless you have to.
While the Red and Green signals are clear in their instruction, Amber allows for a choice but with thoughtful discretion. In fact, a flashing amber traffic light means proceed with caution. But many interpret it as a sign to rush or rev up.
It is said that it is always better to err on the side of caution. It is about taking a comparatively safe course of action when presented with a choice. It is important to be aligned to carefulness and watchfulness.
In life too, at every junction there are three signals. Most of us can read the ones that tell us that it is safe to go or it is imperative to stop. The third sign to make a careful choice is the one which, when ignored at the altar of haste, leads to accidents.
Don’t be in a rash rush at any junction
Amber calls for alertness and caution!
