. Iowa Code 321.257 says: b. A "steady circular yellow" or "steady yellow
arrow" light means vehicular traffic is warned that the related
green movement is being terminated and vehicular traffic shall no
longer proceed into the intersection and shall stop. If the stop
cannot be made in safety, a vehicle may be driven cautiously through
the intersection. Pedestrian traffic is warned that there is
insufficient time to cross the intersection and any pedestrian
starting to cross the roadway shall yield the right-of-way to all
vehicles.
If you can argue that the car could not be safely stopped you might be able to sell your theory, but you'll have to plead not guilty and go to trial.
