safety at stop lights

[dBuster_imp]

Even in the car I like leaving a car length distance between me and the vehicle in front of me.

Not only for the goofy ones that think they need to back up at a stop light but also if you Get to close and you end up with what I call the accordion effect. It is from getting to close at a stop light then when everyone takes off it is like expanding the accordion as you have to wait until the person in front of you gets far enough away before you can start taking of. Imagine ten cars doing that, the accordion. Then at the next light you compact the accordion as everyone has to creep up on everyone else's bumper/ass. If everyone is spaced out when the light turns green everyone starts to move out at least takes their for of the brake, more vehicles in theory would make it through the light as everyone would be moving when it turned green.

I have been at some stop lights and because of the accordion effect I don't get to move until the light has turned red again!

Maybe that is just me. There are too many simple traffic/driving violations I see all the time. Like when turning you take the closest lane to you and not cross to the farthest lane.

Sorry climbing off my soap box. Time to go get the batteries back in the bikes and get them on the road today!
