Lebaran driving

Well, its Ramadhan again already half month pass, its closer and closer to lebaran......

I've always notice when lebaran getting near, the traffic jams are crazy. Here are something I notice.

first, when lebaran is near, avoid big market place, ITC, mall or traditional market, too many people are shopping, specially after they received their paycheck plus THR, so shop earlier or shop at weekdays.
second, more stupid driver. Everyone knows that used car sales will skyrockets during Ramadhan, and these new car owner may never own a car before, so they still learning how to drive the new car,
another reason for more stupid driver is that those rich bastard try to drive because their chauffeur left town already, they usually just sleep at the back of the car and snores, now they think they own the street with their fancy cars.
contrary to popular believe that people leave Jakarta and go to their kampong, actually there are people from out of town goes to Jakarta for lebaran, now these out of towner can create headache, they are not familiar with Jakarta streets and also they drive like crazy!!! They think queuing are for idiots, and they are far too smart for a queue. "stupid Jakarta people" they might say.
Third, don't try to fix your car near lebaran, shops will reject your car because Jakarta people love to do everything at the last minute.

Have a happy Lebaran
Mohon maaf lahir bathin
