[ law regarding amber traffic lights:]

In any given case, whose job is it to judge the acceptable value for
"too close to be stopped safely"?

A list of people whose job it is to judge things can probably be had by
contacting the various courts aroud the country. They're called
"judges", appropriately enough.

Post-hoc, you mean?

I'll assume you are not using that response as a way of admitting that you
don't know.

How does the opinion of a judge, months later and in receipt of second-hand
information, help the driver or cyclist who is approaching and nearly at a
set of traffic lights which have just, this very fraction of a second, turned
amber?

Is it *supposed* to be a guessing game, or are there some rules which you
think can be consulted?
