Traffic solutions

Isn't it frustrating when you are sitting at a traffic light with more than a few cars in front of you and when the light changes it takes half a minute until you can move? If the first car doesn't move immediately that of course takes some time so it would behoove the first person to be paying attention. The following cars must also pay attention and not leave to big a gap. But the ultimate solution is for everyone to pay attention and when the light changes, everyone, and I mean everyone, begins moving at once, leaving no gap, other than the one that is there while waiting for the light to change. After passing through the intersection each car could then return to a safe following distance. Such a simple solution; don't you think?

I KNOW you're not going to remember this, but I proposed such an idea in the car with you and Robby on the way home one night from Center Core.

The only difference with my idea was that I felt that some kind of future technology would be in place in all of the cars so that the entire line of cars, no matter how long, would start at the same instant. With this method there would not be individual, and time-wasting, starts for each car.
