Point 16 is false. Saying "nothing caused a traffic jam" is wrong. You only thought nothing caused it because the cause has been cleared, making it possible for you to proceed in the first place. If the cause of a traffic jam wasn't cleared, then you'd still be stuck within it.

So, I don't know what you expect to see after a fallen trailer (for example) has been pulled away. Or are you saying the drivers at the front in a traffic jam all decided to park in the middle of the road just because they have nothing else to do with their time?

In summary, every traffic jam has a cause, but the cause, after its clearance, is usually not seen by drivers who were previously stuck within the jam.

Mr man most times, nothing caused the hold-up.
You will be standing in a place and wondering what the hell is the cause of the queue

Of course, you can wonder anything from wherever you are. But the truth is, every traffic jam has a cause. Or is it possible for drivers at the forefront to just park their cars or move at snail speed, just because they want to cause a jam? Think about it.

I've witnessed that countless times, especially with mightier than though drivers in Port Harcourt.

Have you ever come down to Iyana iba or Okoko then you will understand that traffic jam in Lagos is spiritual...

The way you people jump into conclusions amaze me. And to think you went on to corroborate my point. I didn't say the reason is always valid. Yes, the reasons are sometimes stupid as you stated. But my point is, there's always a reason. A stupid reason is a reason!

And even that is a reason in itself. Because if someone asks what caused the traffic jam, one will be right to say, "Some mighty drivers are showing their power". It's not a sensible reason, but a reason is a reason.

21) waiting endlessly at the bus top under the hot sun and no bus coming or buses coming but are not going your way and you start sighing and wishing you had your own car...

some buses prefer to load in the middle of the road while some drivers simply can't drive waiting until they are given space enough to pass two trailers before they can move
