Who doesn't HATE traffic jam?

Eventhough they say the KL traffic jam is the worst in Malaysia, I feel that KK also has it own share of traffic jam. I use to hear that people in the West Malaysia was surprise to know that even KK have traffic jam. Well, the truth is "YES we do have traffic jam here and it is as bad". I know this, because I stay in Putatan and my office is in Likas, what usually took a mere 20minutes to arrive to my office during a good day, can take as long as 1 hour to reach the office and it's equally bad when going back from work. I can conclude that traffic jam in my area are due to the factors below:
  1. Bad road structure/condition (Potholes everywhere).
  2. Its raining all the time.
  3. More and more people have car (one family can have minimum 2-3 cars).
  4. Never ending construction which cause people to slow down each time they drive by a road construction (or reconstruction).
  5. There's an accident ahead (minor or major = equally bad).
  6. Cars jump queue.
  7. Police traffic (They are there sometime for no apparent reason and this include even when the traffic light is working perfectly - very mind bogling indeed)
  8. Car brokedown in the middle of the road.
  9. Idiot on the road. Drivers who think driving with 60km/hour speed allowed them to drive in the fast lane. Bad driving ethics.
  10. Traffic light not working (and no police traffic)

Shall I add another one thing that annoyed me during jam? It's when stupid drivers who let those people who jump queue to get in line. Those people should wait in line like everyone else. You are not the only one who has to get to work. Really, these people are just retarded.
