Traffic jam? I'd rather have strawberry jam...

The ITIS (i forgot what it stands for; Intelligent Traffic Information System perhaps?) telling me that the traffic will flow smoothly after a particular exit. It did, but the cause of the traffic jam was still unknown...

Had a 'seminar' last night, but had to meet up with a friend at his house first somewhere in Subang. As you might expect from the evening traffic, the Federal Highway was congested. But, after a long 1hr drive (which usually is a 15min blast in normal conditions), i found the cause of the traffic jam: Nothing.

This is the problem with our roads nowadays. People slow down when there's an accident that doesn't involve them or when it starts to drizzle, brake or slow down for nothing and hog the right lane when they are travelling slower than those on the left lanes. Here's my advice to all of you out there to ease our traffic congestion:
1. Don't hog the right lane is you can't drive right up to the 'legal' speed limit.
2. Be brave and minimize your use of brakes at not-so-sharp turns/bends.
3. Drive like normal even if it's raining cats and dogs. Your modern car and tyres combination can handle it.
4. If you like to stop and see an accident, get into one.
5. If you don't want to comply with any of the above, take the public transport.
