Traffic jams are quite an event - potentially a great day out for all the family. Simply get into your car, drive to a nice wide road, and wait for hundreds of other motorists to do the same. In no time at all, you will find that the road will gridlock around you, leaving you, and everyone else, immobile for a long time.

This scenario gives you an excellent chance to appreciate a variety of petrol and diesel fume aromas, as well as an enormous range of facial expressions and mannerisms displayed by those in surrounding vehicles.

However, while they are often entertaining, traffic jams can also become something of a heated situation for some motorists - be careful to avoid 'road rage'.
