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.

but folks who are 1st in line at the red traffic light should take a deep breath or count to 5 before entering the intersection - just in case there is a driver running the red light from the opposite direction. and traffic behind that 1st car should not be so quick to honk the horn!
