    How often have you found yourself driving down the highway, whether it be a trip or just driving somewhere, it’s clear as day, not only that but sunny and nice out, there’s barely any cars out with you, then all of a sudden you come to an abrupt halt. You stop and look at what appears to be miles of traffic and all you can think to yourself “Wow this must be a big accidents”, or “I wonder what happened”, or, and this happens too often “Who’s doing construction now?”.

            So you’re now stuck in what appears to be never ending, bumper-to-bumper highway congestion, driving 5mph, and every 100 feet or so (if you’re lucky) you come to a complete stop. You look to the left and right, admiring the surround scenery, or looking at other drivers trying to read their expressions, or see if they’re swearing or something. Some of you pick up your phone and proceed to call someone or text someone regarding the traffic and how much it sucks, possibly even taking a picture of the cars and sending that to people.

            As you’re driving along, some people turn their AC off as it makes your car work harder when you’re not moving anywhere. Some people with the windows open blaring music to its extent. Crazy asses that decides they want to break the law, are now driving on the shoulders to pass all others because they think they’re cool (typically pick-up trucks or SUV’s) Why do these idiots think they’re better than everyone else because they drive a large vehicles? Well congrats as you waste your gas, I’m happy with my fuel economy!

           Finally, the moment you’ve been waiting for, a clearing in the future as you look ahead to see cars traveling apart from one another, going what looks to be ‘normal’ speed. You get to the point of no return only to find out it’s all because of merging to a single lane! Are we serious? I was expecting a giant accident, or at least something IMPORTANT!
