I have just returned from France and I am not sure if I made a mistake or not, your advice would be appreciated.
In town, on a long sweeping S bend is a set of traffic lights, before the bend starts there is a single flashing amber light ( at each end of the S) the traffic lights are right in the middle of the S. Whenever I have driven on this road the single amber has flashed, I approach with caution and always found the traffic lights green. The last time I travelled on the road the flashing light was red at the start of the S, I slowed and the French car behind sounded their horn, so I went through, to find the traffic lights on green as usual. The French car followed me through. Now a single amber flashing light is used on bends, to warn of the bend and to take care, ( proceed with caution) a flashing red is used at railway crossings to tell you to stop.
Did I get intimidated by a French driver into jumping a light. If so why did he follow me through? Can anyone explain why the amber flashing light was on this one occasion red?
