Prescribed

Strepitus Cessatio

(Revving Cessation, red-light protocol)

Dosage	Zero (0) engine revs while stationary at a red light
Frequency	Per red light, for 30 consecutive days
Duration	Permanent behavior adjustment
Refills	Unlimited — the crosswalk is not, apparently, an audience

Side effects May include the specific restlessness of an under-utilized pedal, the phantom urge to 'just a little' at the green, and — critically — the observation that 30 days of no-rev resulted in zero changes to patient's life, which is, apparently, the result the revving was supposed to produce.

What is this?

Prescription Strepitus Cessatio belongs to the Institute Pharmacy's catalog of non-pharmacological interventions. The dosage is fictional. The intervention it describes is not. Patients who follow it tend to observe the predicted side effects.

The pharmacy's plain-language rendering is Revving Cessation, red-light protocol. The Latin is for the slip; the English reading is for filling it at home.
