Traffic Tension

Tens of thousands of vehicles racing within feet of each other. The stress and tension I sense every time I get on the freeway is unrivaled. Thousands of cars, each capable of destroying any within proximity. The level of trust is enormous. Each car forms a relationship with one and each other, distancing itself and constantly communicating, either via signals or break lights.
Does anyone else sense this anxiety? So much ordered energy which can so easily be converted into chaos. All within the blink of an eye.

i sense utter selfishness in traffic. As if there is no courtesy or respect for anyone else, or whatever purpose that anyone else has for driving is inferior and not as important as their own personal mission.

Once you set you wheels on the road it is a jungle--you're not guaranteed that nothing or something is gonna happen. It's is one thing to tune in and be aware about your driving; but, you really don't know about the other drivers--especially on snow and ice packed roads.

It's phenomenal how many accidents occur. Every day I take this specific highway, there are at least 1-2 accidents during my journey.

Usually ain't shit for traffic around here unless it's rush hour. I feel at ease on the freeway, but I'm the asshole doin 120 swervin in and out of lanes. No time to focus on anything but staying alive.

on the freeway, anything can happen. its crazy. but after riding in ti a while, its like my mind got acustomed, and started to enjoy the havok. the thrill! woot! seriously, at first it seems so crazy (specially here around LA), but after a while, its just your way to work... and next thing you know, you get used to similar patterns of cut-offs and shit, and begin to flow with it. and soon, it feels like youre one of them. another man goin to work.
