Hell. Agony. Anger. Madness.
That's what it must feel like going through this insane traffic jam.

Looking at it, does it make you want to start punching your keyboard (while imagining it's your steering wheel) and rip off your hair (while imagining they are your car's roof) and scream until the veins in your forehead burst and then cry like a crazy person?

The situation was so bad that some motorists were stuck in the jam for full five days and 400 police officers were brought in to keep their tempers in check.
