Traffic is really starting to grind my gears lately. Yesterday I was stuck in a traffic jam where I was standing still in one spot for over an hour. The reason was an accident which involved multiple motor vehicles which blocked off 3 lanes (of the 4 or 5 available). Today I check traffic radar and discover the motorway to work is completely blocked off again because of yet another accident.
Why 11 km of traffic jam for an accident that happened in the opposite direction?
Here’s the situation: Cars crash spectacularly on the other side in the road, blocking that road completely…. It happens.
Why do folks on the other side of the road need to slow down? To get a glimpse of the carnage? I mean, don’t you feel like a fucking bald-headed scavenger for being unable to resist the urge to peek at what is happening on the other side?
Please do me and the rest of the world a favor. Next time something crashes on the other side of the road: IGNORE AND KEEP DRIVING!
Everything is relative. I often gripe about things that greatly annoy me and every so often comes along that puts things into perspective. This weekend would be a textbook example.
I arrived late at work today and had a perfectly valid reason. As I left home for work I saw no major issues on the road. As soon as I hit the freeway however I found myself stuck in a traffic jam for half an hour. This is the reason why.
