And if you're colourblind or confused, the orange is always in the middle of the three, so you can just tell that way.
That's what people always say, but there is no standard traffic light height, is there? So at night, you've got no idea which one's in the middle if you only see one of them.
"green means go, red means stop, and orange means put your foot down/speed up."
Exactly. Except not, when it means that you're going to run the red, LOL. Or if somebody's in front of you. I've got the habit of asking my dad constantly what I'm supposed to do while I'm driving, even if I really know, so last time we were out, I'm all "it's yellow, do you think I can make it?" and he's "Well, if you drive over the car in front of you, maybe."
