So I got my certificate of completion for my Drug And Alcohol Course in the state of Florida. I'm going in Friday to get my Permit. However, when I was doing the course, it had a section on traffic lights and speed limits (obviously). And it said something very interesting:
[quote]"Traffic lights are synchronized with speed limits, if you go the proper speed limit, you will hit every green light to you destination." [/quote]
Bull.
-blam!-ing.
Shit.
it doesn't honestly expect me to believe that right? I have been in the car countless times with my friends and family driving when we're going to proper speed limit and it gives us the red light a good five times in a row. What kind of idiot does the state of Florida take me for? There is no way you can possibly make me believe such a ludicrous statement.

There are some roads that are set up like that, at least where I am. On my way to my college campus there is a point where I drive about ten miles down a busy road with multiple traffic stops, a lot of times I can make it down most of the stretch without having to stop more that once or twice. Also there are sensors in a lot of the roads nowadays that detect if a car is waiting on a light, if there isn't a car the light will remain green instead of switching at fixed intervals.
