Advantages and Disadvantages of Driving at Light Speed

If you could drive at the speed of light...

Advantages:

• Whenever you approach a red traffic light, it always looks green.
• You can make use of the "slingshot effect" on the curves.
• You can't see a police car's red light in your mirror.

Disadvantages:

• You can't see reflectors in the road.
• Flashing your high beams at the car in front does no good.
• You tend to miss a lot of the nice scenery.
• Your headlights wouldn't be of much use.
• Your cell phone wouldn't be of much use unless you were calling people closer to your destination.
