Pay attention when at a traffic light and be ready to go when the light changes.

I see people texting, gabbing on the phone, reading something and doing every thing else but looking to see when traffic moves. This causes huge gaps and instead of 20 cars making the light, only 10 do. This causes wasted gasoline. Nationally if people maintained gap control at lights, three million gallons of fuel saved every day.

And this is amplified here in TV. I realize reaction times are more and people drive slower in general, but you can look and be ready to move when the car in front of you does.
