Chaos and Your Everyday Traffic Jam

Posted by timothy on from the could-often-be-my-dad's-nutty-driving dept.

An anonymous reader writes "What causes these mysterious traffic jams that continually appear throughout the day for no reason whatsoever? Is it simply the fact that most people just don't have a clue how to drive? That's very possible, and in reality there are so many variables involved in something like a traffic jam. But is it possible that the entire traffic jam could be both the continuing and end result of a chain reaction set in motion by a single driver who was in too much of a hurry?"

    When you're a complete retard like Timothy, the completely obvious is like a moment of divine inspiration. Don't worry, I'm sure his handlers will be in to change his man-diaper soon.

    So you're a moron with less-than-average reading comprehension AND you thought you'd post off-topic crap just to make sure we all knew that (as though it was hard to notice). Nice job.
