Driving lesson for those who may need to drive in the Greater Boston area:
consider an intersection with a flashing yellow light, and a flashing red
light (perpendicular to each other).  Flashing yellow means proceed through
the intersection at high speed without looking.  Flashing red means close
your eyes and proceed through the intersection at high speed without looking.

Also remember that you may only honk your horn, as you proceed through any
intersection, if you are running a _red_ light.
