The amber conundrum.
The bratty and indomitable Dennis, perhaps the “most enduringly irresistible imp” for you and me – but not to Mr.Wilson for whom he is a nightmarish bugbear – quizzes his long-suffering dad as to how folks perceive the difference between yellow signal preceding red and yellow after the red on the road, so as to decide whether to rush or relax, in a comic strip.
Clever question. Quite a few accidents do happen at that moment of transition when the impatient human behind the wheel tries to beat it – triumph of the race against the dumb signal!
Yes. Attitudes cause accidents!
