Don't get me started on traffic.

We humans could be forgiven for considering ourselves to be an intelligent species. After all, we've put a man on the moon, successfully transferred a heart from one human to another and have created wonders of art and music capable of moving others to tears (Justin Bieber anyone?). And in all that time, not a single intelligent life form from Earth or indeed the rest of the universe has even gotten close to anything we've done. Take that you stupid butt-probing aliens. Earth 1, green losers 0.

But through all these accomplishments of mind and machine, the solar-powered engines and nuclear bombs, I am still unable to drive from my place of work to my place of study anywhere close to 8 a.m. or 5 p.m. lest I arrive in a blood-curdling rage, leaving behind a trail of abused pensioners spluttering along in their non road-legal 1955 Toyota Corollas after receiving a barrage of horrendous insults capable of causing Gordon Ramsay to blush. I don't know what it is about traffic, but it just makes my blood boil. How can we have progressed so far as a species in so many regards, yet still put people's lives at risk (mainly if they're in close proximity to me, to be fair) on a daily basis commuting via the main form of transport?

Instead of trying to put a man on Mars, put a bloody man at slow intersections with an automatic machine gun and instill the fear of God (and Kalashnikov) in them. Maybe a few well-placed bullets will remind those drivers who last took their tests when the Austro-Hungarian Empire was still a powerhouse of Europe just how to use an indicator, or how to move out of third gear on a highway.

Lol, it's funny when you say that despite our advancement you still experiencing traffic from your place of work to study. I believe with the flying taxis now in Dubai, the traffic situation will be reduced drastically. Great post

Flying taxis in Dubai?

This is news to me. More research to follow for sure!

No problem. All the best
