BANG!!!

What if your race car were a W/SA Pinto wagon with a C-3 transmission, that would result in you being the first car to leave 100-percent of the time?

That would mean that any time you red lit, your opponent would never have a chance to red light.

Never....

Can you logically justify a system that unecessarily removes your opponent from jeopardy (red light variety) just because you left early? You have deprived him of his chance to red light.

He has no way to return the favor... Nothing he can do will remove you from the jeopardy of a red light.

Do you think you'd still see this situation as a "non-problem" if that were the case?

Does that seem fair to you?
