Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, we must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear. Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life. What is it you would let go of today?

You can ignore most of that axis, because if you're driving around town, and the car starts stopping randomly, you're never going to buy that car. And the vertical axis is how often the car is going to apply the brakes when it's supposed to to help you avoid an accident.

You've got a choice.

How will we survive when...

 to move out of a section of the road, increasing vehicle density even more, which eventually adds up to stop-and-go traffic. Drivers tend not to realize they need to break far in advance of a traffic jam, which means they end up having to brake harder to avoid a collision.
