Double ambers revert at 10-8-10-9, and therefore, reversion is negligible. Double-amber mutants are made by crossing single-amber mutants with each other.

They all moved safely through the first green and then the second, but when the third light turned amber Jack's taxi was the last to cross the intersection.
