TRAFFIC JAM
For many years, Daniel has been driving to work and back home every weekday. Every morning, on his way to work, especially during rush hours, the highways are usually crowded causing traffic jam. The situation is even worse in the evening when he drives home. If there is an accident or a car has broken down and block the lane, most of drivers have to wait for hours or turn back to go on another route. In the winter, especially when it snows, it is strongly for vehicles to move on thick layer of snow.
