OK I don't get this. Maybe in the US things are different, but his argument if I'm reading it correctly is that if you enter the junction (sorry, intersection) intending to make a turn then you need the amber light to stay on longer. But (here in the UK at least) you are only breaking the law if you cross the line when the light is red. The important bit being cross the line. Not exit the junction, but enter the junction.
If anything it will be easier to stop in time if you are approaching the lights intending to make a turn simply because in that scenario you will be travelling more slowly.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
