@SeventhSense. Um…...I meant the traffic lights. You know, red, yellow, green? I am sure you have pulled up behind a large utility vehicle or maybe a moving van and you can’t see whether the TRAFFIC light is red or green, so when the truck starts to drive, you follow assuming the driver is doing the right thing and not deciding to drive through a red. Which has happened before – I saw the aftermath. Here, when all you see in front of you is a huge dump truck and the Department of Transportation decides to make a daily project of moving those reflector cones so your path swerves differently every day as they work on different parts of the road, you often don’t have advance notice of where to go. Common sense would have it to keep following the vehicle in front of you. Often, that person doesn’t know either! :-) But anyway, they say not to follow trucks because they often are the ones working on the road, so they will veer off the proper path into the work zone and, if you are not careful, you can find yourself in a tricky situation.
By the way, I couldn’t tell if you were making a funny joke or if you thought I was an idiot and was giving me a sarcastic jab. If it was the latter, I you are more than welcome to “go towards the light” and I don’t mean the ones that direct traffic…..
