	When the traffic lights turned red and a car kept going, well, nothing was said. It was quietly understood that if he could do it, anyone could. But the queue remained and we felt the strain of being the majority obeying the authority of traffic lights turned red. When the traffic light turned green and the car in front couldn't start, it seemed like he was holding us up to show we were happy to stop until told to go. And the queue remained and we felt the strain of being the majority needing the authority of traffic lights turned green. When the traffic lights broke down there were lines of cars reaching out of town. We were all too scared to move until a man in a uniform told us what to do. And as we drove on by, we wondered why we hadn't gone the other way or gone ahead and said, "Horray! The traffic lights are broken down!"
