Deadlock in motion

Deadlock: A situation in which no progress can be made or no advancement is possible

Now just think about this situation..........

You are waiting for the signal to turn green on a T-Junction.At the front you have switched to first gear to turn to the right.There is this car beside you who wants to turn to the left.Both of you are not aware that you are going to go in the opposite directions.OK now the signal has turned green.You move forward and simultaneously try to turn right.Similarly the car driver is doing the same thing except that he wants to turn left.Now assume you both are moving at the same speed trying to achieve the above.Also assume that some how the next step you both plan to take coincide.I mean you take a step back and let the car pass by and the car guy thinks of the same and steps back.You see where I am going or does it make any sense at all?

And if you try to move forward the car also tries to move forward, resulting in a deadlock.You do this until you reach the dead end of the T-Junction and finally halt and look at each others faces and start the Hyderabadi style of complaining.Please concentrate on the crux here!!

True it is a deadlock but the deadlock is in motion...........can you visualize that?? or I am the Lunatic?? OK enough of lecture, I name this "Deadlock in Motion".
