Nice vid, Ben

I liked the "And there is the policeman..." Never wants to stop me

My Wife recently got her license, so whenever she drives I coach her to save fuel. One of the things I've noticed, and I think it's something that most drivers do, not just beginners, is that she only looks at what's going on directly in front of the car, not far, far ahead. She's only thinking about the nearest traffic light, not the second or third light behind it. I blame this on her being a beginner and being absorbed by too many other things, and hopefully she'll look farther ahead once she's got the hang of driving. So I help her by advising not to accelerate, since even though the closest light is green, the next one has just turned red.
