When I were a lad we were taught it meant "go if safe to do so". To me it has no meaning in a car or on a bike. Neither does red. -- To snip or not to snip that is the question, Whether 'tis nobler for the index finger to cut the verbosity and gobbledegook of nutters or to append a meaningless comment and demonstrate their shallowness. |

An alternative signal for "accelerate as hard as you can" is a vehicle a little way ahead and in the next lane to the left indicating right to move into your lane. |

Experts say keeping teens indoors at night is the only way to make the streets safe for adults. |

If they also taught you that the light was called "orange" then we should disregard any other stupidity they taught you and perhaps begin to understand why your "claimed" driving is so poor. |

Steady amber means stop as long as it is safe to do so e.g. don't stop if you would have to brake hard to stop at the line. Flashing amber means proceed if the way is clear. Red and amber means get ready to go. |
