Do you speed up, or do you slow down?

As you come up to an intersection, and you see the traffic light turn yellow, do you speed up or do you slow down? Sometimes it's a bit dangerous because there are cars trying to make a left turn. Note that this is north american way of driving because we left turn into traffic.
When I am all by myself, I usually speed up. But, when I am with my family, specially with my kids, I make a conscious effort to slow down.
How about you? Do you speed up lead foot? Or do you slow down grandpa?

LOL I love that. Either we're lead foots or grandpas. 
. I'm most likely to speed up, actually. I'm always in a rush, so this makes sense. But again, like you, if I have other people in my car (which I usually don't.. but when I do..) I will try to make myself LOOK like a better and more attentive driver by making sure I follow most all traffic laws (and slowing down at a yellow light is usually one of them).

Haha! I love that!
While I try to slow down for safety, you slow down to make yourself look good. 
I have done that. If I was trying to impress somebody, specially a girl, I would totally drive like I was a responsible driver. But in reality, in the mornings, while I am rushing for work, I speed up! This I do while drinking my coffee on one hand.
