If you enter an intersection under green or yellow then the intersection is YOURS! It does not matter if it turns red AFTER you enter the intersection. The law states "do not enter intersection under RED". Other drivers HAVE to wait for you to exit the intersection before moving through. No need to tear through and crash just because you saw yellow or red after the fact.

No, not correct.

Traffic signal rules

Specifically yellow signal..

"YELLOW—A yellow signal light warns you that the red signal is about to appear. When you see the yellow light, you should stop, if you can do so safely. If you can't stop, look out for vehicles that may enter the intersection when the light changes."

Yellow does not give you the right to gun it ("accelleryeller style points" are not awarded for that move).

Your logic is as bad as the guy I got to watch one morning decide that a solid green light on a left turn across traffic meant he had full right of way (he didn't have full right of way).. He was almost dead wrong when the semi T boned his vehicle pushing his vehicle into a concrete barrier and then spun 180 degrees and ended up the wrong direction on the ramp he so badly wanted to get on to.. I pulled over to see if he was alive and he started arguing that the trucker did not have the right of way.. I stated that the trucker indeed had full right of way and the driver of the car making that left turn did not have the green ARROW (which would have meant opposing traffic had red) and solid green in this case is supposed to yield right of way to oncoming traffic.. That traffic light even has a sign stating left turn must yield to traffic on solid green.

Yellow means that you should prepare to stop, if you can't stop safely stop then proceed with caution.

I have an intersection 1/4 mile from my house, has a blinking light with red blinking on two sides and yellow blinking on two sides and it is surprising the many accidents that happen there nearly on a weekly basis because folks totally ignore proper etiquette and not stopping on the red blinker and not being cautious on the yellow blinker.. Have seen many deaths at that intersection, not sure it was worth it to be in such a hurry.
