Actually Amber means STOP UNLESS you wil cause an accident. It under no circumstances in this country means go with caution.
Being that I am in the position of having a broken back because some one 'thought' oh its amber but its OK, he's a biker he'll go through anyway, I'll accelerate through behind him...... Oh **** hes stopped!, Crash bang wallop.
May I just point out that it was perfectly safe for me to stop. I didn't brake hard or anything, it was purely someone who made an assumption about another driver. Had she been watching teh lights she should/would have been able to stop in plenty of time
