Exodus Causes Traffic Congestion

 

 

BANGKOK, July 4 (TNA) – Exodus to the North and the Northeast caused traffic congestion from early morning as people went on vacation during the extended holiday before the Buddhist Lent.

 

For the four-day holiday, the cabinet ordered the Highways Department to waive tolls on Highway 7 (Bangkok-Chon Buri) and Highway 9 (Bangkok’s eastern ring road) from 12.01am on July 3 to midnight of July 8 to facilitate traffic flows. The department would lose about 120 million baht of tolls while vacationers are stimulating the national economy.

Hardly surprising when you have idiots blocking off one third of the road!

Staycation--Covid edition

When you get to the front it's always a car with a small scratch on the bumper and they cause 4 hours of traffic congestion.  Or some <deleted> that fell off his bike at 5 MPH.

 

We need an app that can scan the QR code of the person involved and get all the details then they can move on.

 

It is ridiculous that people stop in the middle of the road when they have a hairline scratch on the car.

 

It should be illegal to stop in the road for more than five minutes if your car is still drivable.

 

I've seen cars made of wood and rust and they drive past the accident scene.

Probably a police checkup up there with all the officers sleeping in a tent. Well worth the huge traffic jams they cause, because lower speeds means less death.
