New South Wales · Driver Knowledge Test (DKT) practice question

Speed up to get through
Stop, unless it's unsafe to stop suddenly
Always continue — yellow means the same as green
Sound your horn and proceed

Show answer & explanationHide answer

Correct answer: Stop, unless it's unsafe to stop suddenly

A yellow light means stop — you may only continue if you're so close that stopping suddenly would be dangerous. It is not a signal to accelerate through.
