"We have those cameras in our town. If you stop with your bumper over the white line, you get a ticket. Yesterday, I was ridding with my daughter who only has a learners permit. We came upon one of those intersections and the light turned yellow when we were far too close to stop. My daughter practically skidded trying to stop in time while the car behind us was inches away trying to avoid hitting us. I ask her why she did that and she said, “ It’s one of those that takes your picture.” I feel those are actually MORE likely to cause a crash."

Okay, we are in deep trouble when learning to comply with the law is only an issue if you actually get punished when you fail. As long as no one was looking, she could roll through the light. And, yes, sure enough, stopping when she should will truly cause more accidents. I think we have entered the twilight zone.

Did you even read that post? The idea is that the yellow is supposed to be long enough for people to drive through if they can’t stop safely when the light changes from green. Doing so is not “breaking the law”. That’s why you have the yellow in the first place.
