Default Re: OT: Traffic patterns...Fluid dynamics

As geekish as this sounds, I have pondered the similarity between traffic patterns and fluid dynamics many times over the years. Must be my geeky ME background. I have also tried some of those "anti-traffic" techniques the guy listed - and I can say that they do work.

But mostly in traffic I ponder the benefits of getting a helicopter. A military attack helicopter. With lots of guns and missiles to vaporize that BLEEPer up front causing the slowdown! THAT WILL TEACH HIM! But I digress, besides, I don't think those things are for sale...

Or get one of those monster trucks with huge wheels that could just drive over and crush any cars in the way.

Sometimes, traffic jams happen for silly reasons, like drivers slowing down just to look at a guy who's stopped on the side of the road to change a tire.

I always thought a nice M1 Abrams would unjam traffic nicely.
