The Moses Effect can refer to a multitude of things. The main is to describe the effect a police
car has on traffic on the motorways. For example, when a police
car enters the motorway, the cars in front of the
police part out of the
police cars lane, and slow down to the point where they actually go behind the police
car. This leaves a 3 lane wide open stretch of road in front of the police
car. This is the parting of the sea of cars leaving open empty road, thus the moses effect. Known to cause heavy backups and traffic. Another form of the Moses effect can refer to the parting of people in the way of a person people fear, admire, or have extreme respect for. This time just, leaving an open stretch of walkway with hundreds of people lining eiether side. The Moses Effect is not imited to only these
two uses.
As the
Police Trooper merged on to the motorway, the
Moses Effect took place, the cars all instantly slowed down and merged to the sides of the road. The Trooper took this to his advantage and enjoyed the endless span of road free of other cars.
