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 German traffic rules, when the traffic light changes from green to amber (yellow) and you are very close to the intersection—such as 10 meters away at about 40 km/h—you should proceed through the intersection rather than stop abruptly. This is because stopping suddenly at such a short distance could be unsafe or cause accidents. The amber light warns drivers to prepare to stop if it is safe and feasible, but if stopping suddenly is not safe or practical due to distance and speed, you should continue driving. This rule helps ensure smooth traffic flow and safety.
