Actually I suggest YOU read the highway code because the scope of the discretion the driver has is clearly set out (my emphasis).

So your discretion is if you think you may cause a collision. It's worth noting that very hard braking & emergency stops can cause cars to slide out of control which is for all intents & purposes a collision

A collision is when two or more moving bodies exert forces on each other within a short space of time! A skid or loss of control is not of itself a collision. You have to hit something. In which case if you skid due to an event you are travelling too fast and have not anticipated or planned for that event.
If you want to use your discretion to ignore an amber light, please do so. I will post my condolences with an RIP when you are broadsided by a vehicle moving off quickly from the other set of lights!!!
