Traffic accidents

There are often traffic tie-ups for miles, and the reason is accidents. But clearing an accident should take minutes, not hours.

We all have cameras in our phones. Take photos and quickly remove the cars involved.

It is brutal and unnecessary to hold up traffic for hours.

People need to pick up kids, have doctor appointments or could be low on gas.

With phone cameras, there is no reason to keep cars in miles of traffic. Stop the drama!
