traffic lights

the red traffic light stares at me. i ought to slow down. i ought to downshift. i ought to take control. but i can't get my foot off the accelerator.

i am closing in towards the crossroads. its now or never, i ought to slam the brakes! but i am pushing on. the lights are whizzing past me. the headlights are blinding, the sounds are deafening....

How many more signals will I break before I crash?
