The traffic light turns yellow — do you?
There we are, tootling down the road, and then the traffic light turns yellow.
What do you do? Stop? Speed up? Melt down? What if there was an electronic device that would instantly tell you want to do? Oddly enough, people work on these things. I am pretty sure that every time someone makes the wrong decision, he or she knows it is wrong as they are going it. So I'm not about to go out and buy some device to replace my brain. But, I'm guessing, people without much of a brain will. Posted by Steve E. Swenson 1 comments from 1 users

There's a similar device for four-way stop sign intersections. If cars arrive at nearly the same time, it detects the slightest braking indications in the other cars. If there are any, the device disconnects your brakes and injects gas into your carburetor. You'll get to your destination many seconds faster. It works! I've seen a lot of cars up here equipped with it.
