Tuesdays Horror Traffic Conditions (1 Viewer)

Who else got stuck in the extremely heavy peak tonight? I left uni at 6.00 got home at 7.40 (notmally takes 10 - 15 minutes on a good day) - How long did it take you guys?
Turns out there was a fatal crash up the street from where I live, and they closed Pennant Hills road for an investigation. When i got home, I went for a walk - saw one of the vehicles in the crash - a black BMW sedan, front all smashed in and the windshield pushed into the passenger cabin - not pretty. Unfortunately, a young woman in her 20s lost her life in this process.

Don't you get driven to uni?

I refuse to drive in peak hour, I either go earlier or later. For me, it's not worth leaving uni at 5:00 and getting home at 5:45, when I could leave at 6:30 an get home at 6:35... I'd much rather do some reading for an hour at uni, so I can leave a bit later and not put up with traffic. The whole fuel thing, along with pushy Sydney drivers, is just impossible. =(

I get driven but - whether I was driving or Dad, it still would have been the same

If it takes you 5 minutes on a good day, why don't you just walk...

It'd take about an hour and a half to walk, considering that I'm going 75 km/h for nearly the whole trip.

But can't you read or do something productive? The most frustrating thing about driving in peak hour during semester is that you've got a gazillion things to be doing.

I heard the announcements at Town Hall saying everyone was to jump on buses to go to Bondi Junction, but no such announcement about the Illawarra Line
