At a high-speed intersection I am following a girl in a Honda. The light turns yellow. Plenty of time for both of us to get through the intersection without speeding up. What does she do? She speeds up then hammers her brakes at the last second because she "changed her mind". I had no time to stop, so I changes lanes quickly and made it through the intersection before the light turned red. I missed her rear bumper by a few inches at best.

Fortunately you have the skill to do that, but I'd bet if a LEO witnessed your action you would have received a performance award.
edit:excerpted from NJ Traffic Law
Yellow Light - When shown alone, traffic should stop before entering the intersection or crosswalk, unless the vehicle is so close to intersection that it cannot be stopped safely.
The last line is of course subjective,
