Are you always stuck in traffic during your drive to work or drive home? Spare a thought for people in China... There has been a nine-day traffic jam in China that stretched for more than 100 miles. The traffic jam, on the Beijing-Tibet Expressway began on August 14 when thousands of coal and fruit trucks jammed the roadway. Roadworks and several accidents and broken down cars caused the road to seize up. Drivers were reportedly playing cards to kill time. Enjoy the Bank Holiday traffic!
