When approaching an intersection and you get a yellow light, you should

slow down and prepare to stop
speed up to make it through the intersection
stop if already in the intersection
only stop if turning right

The correct answer is: slow down and prepare to stop

When approaching an intersection and you get a yellow light, it means that the traffic signal is about to change to red. Therefore, the best course of action is to slow down and prepare to stop to avoid rushing through the intersection and potentially causing an accident. Speeding up to make it through the intersection is dangerous and can result in a collision. Stopping if already in the intersection or only stopping if turning right are both incorrect because they do not account for the need to prepare to stop at the intersection. It is important to always follow traffic signals and signals from other drivers to ensure safe driving practices.
