Sounds a bit like Houston. People here have come to the conclusion that
if you are close enough to the guy in front of you you dont't have to
stop. When I first moved here I found myself running some pretty hot
yellow lights just to get anywhere, then I'd look in my mirror and see 4-5
more cars follow me through. I've even watched police cars in the line
playing the same game.
