Traffic jam and war

Today was a good super high quality traffic jam on the N1 (Cape Town). Apparently there was a small accident on the attached M5 which was cleared up quickly, but since everybody had to slow down to watch, that caused huge slowdown shockwaves from the smaller M5 onto the big N1 and that caused another four-car pileup as well.

The online game that I have been playing since February has now become a full scale war amongst several alliances.
