I came up with this topic to write when one of my friend was describing his experience.
He was on the front seat of a public bus when this happened. There was a small car in front of them and then a leading bus. The leading bus was too slow and the car seemed not trying to overtake the bus though it had plenty of time to—considering the oncoming traffic (this was a two lane road—one lane for one direction and the other is for other direction). So the bus which my friend was on board was following this leading long bus and the small car, not being able to find a traffic hole to overtake these two leading vehicles. After few minutes, it became a long road traffic.
Now we can see there is something wrong here. Let’s examine:
According to the rules and regulations, everyone was driving good. But still there’s some wrong here.
The fault is in the driver’s thinking. If the car driver looks behind through his back mirror he can see that there is a long traffic waiting behind to overtake him. But why don’t they overtake? There is a long bus in front of him and there’s no room between him and that long bus for someone else to come in OR there is not enough traffic hole for someone to overtake him and the long bus at once.
So, what must he do? Pull back the car a bit so someone else can overtake him and come between him and the bus. Then that vehicle can overtake the bus when he found another traffic hole. So, one by one, vehicles will pass—terminating the slow traffic. And the small car will also maintain the journey.
As a result of this little thinking traffic jams will be reduced making all vehicles have a safe, efficient, effortless thus happy journey.

Now we can see there is something wrong here. Let’s examine:
- The leading bus was slow. But it is not breaking any laws. Anyone has full authority to go drive at a desired speed if that speed is in the range of speed limits.
- The car was following the bus at a constant speed leaving some distant the driver think is safe.
