China is a 3rd world country that has economically leapt far beyond its own capacity.
As a result, other than the cumulative massive wealth generated by peasants, everything else
is 3rd world.

If i was stuck in such traffic, I will calmly look for a very safe spot on the road, park my car and board a bike home and if there is no bike, i will walk home.

Before man ever invented the automobile, men use their legs-mobile.

Like someone said his thought exactly now you would not be the only person thinking about this it would be many of you
So imagine,if you do so and you leave the car it would further compound the traffic jam as even though it move even slightly your car would still be there

So it is not good to do this if you are a patriot and a good citizen cheesy

OP, on d day i saw dat news, it was on d 9th day of d traffic. N d next day, i heard dat it has started movin again so i don't know how it got to 13days, buh anyways sha, traffic is traffic!

It is possible that you are right. When i heard the story initially, it was just a news snippet from Rocketboom and they said 13 days.
So i went online and googled China traffic jam for 13 days and those were the news stories that came up indicating 13 days.
However, after your post, i just googled China traffic jam and it showed 9 days, 10 days, 11 days.
So whatever, it is still a long time to be in traffic.

For God sake - why make a fuss out of a one off event - It is not like it is a daily occurrence similar to what we get in Lagos - Abeg the amount of time i have spent in Lagos traffic totaled together pass 1 year and that record can never be broken by any country.

I, entered a small bus from Port-Harcourt to Lagos.
Just after Lokoja, we met a very terrible traffic jam, I got to Abuja by almost 3 in the morning, so my parents were so worried that something had happened.

going by your take-off point, and your expected destination, you have no business been in Lokoja talkless of ending at Abuja.

@ post, this is surely another World Record grin
