Just arrived in KL after nearly a 6-hour drive along the PLUS Highway. The drive is normally between 4.5 to 5 hours. But today, it's just like when it is during the festive holidays. Starting from Tapah all the way to Rawang... the volume of traffic was big. The traffic volume was not the real culprit though.
The problem was that along several stretches of the highway, traffic was crawling for no apparent reason. Somewhere after the Sungkai exit, there was no accident. Only a bus with a flat tyre on the other side of the highway. Somewhere after the Lembah Beringin exit, there was no roadblock. Only a car that stopped in the emergency lane, also with a flat tyre. And at several other places, there was nothing there to see anyway, and yet the traffic was painfully slow. And this coming from someone who doesn't exceed the speed limit.
Weird, isn't it? No valid reason for traffic to crawl on the highway. And yet, it crawls. And suddenly, I hear the sound of the X-Files tune ringing in my ears...
