The traffic is crazy this time of the year. Or is it just the drivers?
Find out which:
The NFS
Now, if you live in Dhanmondi, you’re probably already familiar with the sudden whoosh of cars zipping away into the streets of the residential area, and music blasting at full volume. Yes, they’re having way too much fun with eating Daddy’s money and their unlimited free time to care about your discomfort.
The Road Rager
Hot summer day, traffic, man yelling in the distance: recognise this man? He’s in a hurry and he’s definitely not having a very good day; something is obviously going wrong in this crazy traffic, and he’s losing it so he needs to take it out on someone. Just don’t take it personally.
The Radio Jammer
He’s chilled. Oh yes, he is. And you wish you could be as relaxed as him, singing along to the music on the radio without a care in the world because they’re having that much fun. Jealous yet?
The Terp
That one car that’s the slowest in the line, and somehow always manages to be the one in front of you. He can go faster, and you wish he would because you’re running late for your morning class, but his sluggish way of driving is making your head explode and you can’t do anything about it. Pro tip: tell your teacher your driver arrived late. Always works.
The Amateur
The baby drivers, who just finished driving school, and are working for someone only temporarily: this is him. He makes mistakes. He doesn’t know his way sometimes. If he’s not your chauffeur, you’re lucky. Unless he bumps into your car.
The make-shift DJ
They always have the best music playing in their car. However, it is not enough for them that they can hear; they need to have passers-by and nearby cars have a taste of their music. This is probably why their music is always playing at earth-shattering volume, whether or not it pleases you.
The stoner
Many of us have fallen victim to one of these. Drivers who are baked all the time. All the time. In the morning when he’s taking you to school and his eyes don’t look okay, you know for a fact it’s not because he didn’t catch enough sleep the night before. The only positive is, he’s usually very passive during arguments and can keep his calm longer than most.
