"the amber signal shall, when shown alone, convey the same prohibition as
the red signal, except that, as respects any vehicle which is so close to
the stop line that it cannot safely be stopped without proceeding beyond
the stop line, it shall convey the same indication as the green signal or
green arrow signal which was shown immediately before it;"

If you increase your speed before crossing the first line, so that you
are not then able to stop (safely) before crossing the second line, you
will still be able to obey that rule whilst passing both lines on
amber.

If you increase your speed after the light turns amber, and could have
stopped at either line if you hadn't increased your speed, then you have
broken the prohibition.
