Magician David Copperfield should be pressured into service to show the highway police forces how to make an accident dissappear.

This would drastically reduce traffic problems caused by rubberneckers who have to slow down to look at the 'car'nage.

       I fully agree. The only issues I can see are that motorists will simply ram into the invisible wreck, or if you leave police vehicles on-scene and visible, motorists will pause to look at the blinky-flashy lights thereby defeating the purpose.

       If you assume that Copperfield's illusions hold up under day-time close-up conditions, we could all simply levitate around and wouldn't really have to use cars to begin with.
