So I would like to talk about the time when I got stuck on the road due to traffic conditions. A few days ago, this happened in my life. In my private car, I was driving for studying and attending events related to my family. At that time, the traffic light wasn't working properly; it was changing very slowly, and there were lots of policemen managing the cars. We got stuck in the center of the road, and there were plenty of vehicles, like buses and private cars of various types. My mom was in a hurry for her work, so I got out of the car and discussed the situation with the policemen who were standing at the side of the road. I decided to say something to help overcome the congestion. The policemen said that everyone had a chance to go, but we needed to drive more quickly. Before that, I felt very frustrated.
