【Part2】Describe a time when you had to wait in a traffic jam3

I really don’t feel like recalling that dreadful memory of being caught in a gridlock. I think the most horrible thing about a heavy traffic jam is that you never know when you can go through it, once you slowed to halt you would have no choice but wait and I can tell you this long hopeless waiting period is desperate cuz you never know the precise time it will start over again like a real freeway. That time I was heading to a friend’s birthday party in Shanghai, to be more precise, the west side of the river. But I was on the east side, so I have to pass a long tunnel to the east. It was a day in the Chinese national holidays so there were more traffics on the road but I didn’t think it would affect the road condition in the tunnel cuz it was 11 at night. But once I got in the tunnel it seemed to be a snail-paced traffic and all the vehicles hardly moved a bit. I thought I could be a car accidence so I kept waiting while sending message to my friends telling them my gridlocked situation. It turned out to be 2 complete hours before the vehicles start to be fluent again, during these 2 hours, I watch a movie on my phone and made 3 phone calls to my fellas explaining the traffic congestion. I have to say that I was really anxious and annoyed when stuck in my car, I think that’s one of the most dreadful experience cuz It makes you feel that you can do nothing to alter the current situation and feel powerless. Moreover, it’s also lame to be stuck in a tiny place for 2 hours without any fresh air down there. When I finally came out the tunnel I realized what was really happening, there was a police car halted along the road while blocking one line of it turning it from a dual channel to a single one, the policemen were checking each driver’s alcohol content by their special device. Then I got furious cuz I don’t think it’s respectful to deprive 2 hours from everyone for the sake of a mere alcohol test, you know, time is precise, besides they could have chosen a better place to do this test not in a already crowed tunnel.
