They&rsquo;re worth remembering too, for when you take to the roads solo!<\/p>\n<p>\n\tAccording to the study, millions of motorists are utterly oblivious to the order of traffic lights. More than one in 10 motorists believe a single amber light is followed by a green signal. Meanwhile, 13 percent incorrectly think tha<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.booktheorytesttoday.com\/did-you-know-the-first-traffic-light-was-installed-101-years-ago\">t traffic lights <\/a>go to red and amber together.
