It's easy, but if you don't think you can do it call in an electrician who will do the job for you, with the added bonus that you won't wake up one night in the midst of a blazing inferno.

I did it!

Wait what

Because most intelligent drivers like to leave a reasonable space between their own front bumper and the rear bumper of the vehicle in front, hence each vehicle waits until there is said space between them and the vehicle ahead of them before starting to move.

You're talking about the lights at Lane Ends Penketh here aren't you? Bastards get you every time!

I don't think intelligence is a factor, I think its texting, checking your hair, telling kids off, choosing music, or general herd dopiness.

The lights I refer to are in Swindon and I swear to god they are designed to make you burn petrol for the chancellor.
They built a new road, a dual carriage way no less, to act as part of a ring road. Then they ruined it with lights every 150m which always go red on your approach. Sensors immediately prioritise each solitary car that comes to the side junction, at the expense of dozens of cars on the "main" road.
It's torture.

Hated that road when I worked near Swindon. Hated most of Swindon to be honest.

I moved out to the boat years ago. Just a few miles away but a different world. I'll do anything to avoid going in there. I coined the phrase Grimdon which has now been taken up by a local poet (who I happened to have taught ... well tried to teach - insofar as you can teach a future poet science).
 
There`s a pub over the road from me that opens at 11am. The same group of fellas are there at 11 am on the dot and stay until around 5pm / 6pm every day.
All of them seem to smoke and visit the bookies over the road on a regular basis during the day.
Non of them are old enough to be retired.

I have no idea where they get their money ???

Maybe they're really good at picking winners? Or slowly burning through some redundancy pay / lotto syndicate?
 
A woman on the train going to work. She has 2 handbags and a backpack. How do you need that much stuff to survive 8 hours?
In contrast, Ive got a phone, my wallet and my keys.
 
Constantly seeing 'men' in my rear view mirror checking themselves out, fixing their hair, pouting for selfies (honestly that happened) and generally being arrogant.

What has the world come to?
