For some reason, I was not able to grasp the idea of speed. I thought that if everybody was going the same speed on the road, then they would all catch up to eachother and would eventually be driving in a straight line next to eachother. I didn't understand that as long as people started at different points, they could go the same speed without hitting eachother.
