What's the holdup?
Want to know one of my biggest gripes about driving? The unexplained traffic gridlocks! I'm talking about the ones where out of nowhere you slam on your brakes and are not moving for what seems like forever. Then when the cars finally start moving slowly, you look around and see that there wasn't an accident or traffic buildup from a nearby exit. Can anyone explain where these holdups come from and how they suddenly free up? I mean, I understand when there's an accident on the other side and everyone and their moms feel the need to drive slowly as they drive past it. But how is it that for 40 minutes you're not moving and then "baam" it's metal to the pedal? I can only explain it as spontaneous dispersement.

I attribute this to the overall horridness of the New Jersey driver. A bigger pack of clowns one is unlikely to ever find. Hate angst whine.
it's actually pedal to the metal. and you speed like crazy afterwards cuz there's no traffic in front of you since everyone else is waiting their 40 min. behind you. :-P
Usually in traffic, the right most lane is either the fastest or the slowest moving lane. This varies b/c of a ton of ppl merging on or exiting off. (Wey read some guy's study of traffic patterns and told me this as we were stuck in traffic).
Also, if there's sun glare, rain/snow, or is a Monday morning, Jersey drivers tend to just drive like crap.
