You are travelling at a speed of approximately 40 km/h. The lights change from "green" to "amber" when you are 10 m away. What do you do?

In this scenario, since you are only 10 meters away from the traffic lights and traveling at about 40 km/h when they turn amber, you should proceed. German traffic rules state that you must stop at an amber light unless stopping would be unsafe or not possible without harsh braking. At 40 km/h, 10 meters is a very short distance, and braking hard could be dangerous for you and other road users behind you. Therefore, it is correct and safer to continue through the intersection in this case.
