There shouldn't be anyone who likes to be stuck in traffic. Increased traffic often thwarts some plans, making you late for work, home, friends or other appointments. It can be particularly frustrating when you are behind the wheel yourself and cannot distract yourself because things are slow. To make things a little more relaxed next time and not just sit bored in the car, here are a few useful ideas.
Podcast time
The radio can quickly become boring on a long drive or when standing still for a long time. How often does it happen that you're in the middle of a song before the moderator interrupts and advertises? You can easily do without that by taking your favorite podcasts with you in the car. Hear exciting crime stories, funny stories or lifestyle. During a traffic jam, you can listen to the latest episode of your favorite podcast and focus (almost) all your attention on what's being said. Or you can familiarize yourself with one of the best podcasts you haven't listened to yet.
Keeping them happy with games
This is not a board game, but small games that you can best play with fellow passengers. How about "I can see what you can not see“Or other guessing games. Who guesses most of the specs of the other cars around, right? Have a passenger look up the correct answers and keep track of the points each scores. You can also just estimate how many white cars you see and then count that.
If you sit alone in the car and get stuck, you quickly have the smartphone in your hand. However, you can only reach for your cell phone if nothing is actually moving anymore. If the progress is slow, your hands should always be on the steering wheel. However, if the engine is off and the handbrake is on, the smartphone is the best way to pass the time when things are stuck anyway.
Instead of just scrolling through social media apps, you can also hunt for bonuses. Free spins without a deposit are a good start and are worth getting to know new mobile gaming sites. Maybe you'll have a little better luck with this than getting out of a traffic jam quickly.
The next episode of the favorite series
It can also happen that you stop on the bus or train instead of in the car. The following tip is also suitable for all co-drivers and passengers who do not have to sit at the wheel themselves. It can be worth watching entire films or series on your cell phone or tablet. Sometimes no internet connection is necessary, because some apps like Netflix or Amazon Prime allow you to download your favorite series and watch them offline. All you have to do is make sure you have completed the download before you leave. In addition, you should always have enough storage space on the device, so the selection of films should not be too large.
Making it comfortable
Sitting for long periods of time is uncomfortable and also unhealthy. In the car and even in the bus, however, there is only limited scope for movement. After all, you can stroll along the compartments on the train. But you can also do a few stretching exercises with little space. Pull your legs up like you're climbing stairs. Reaches your arms above your head and stretches your triceps and shoulders. If you don't have to put your feet on the accelerator, you can sit cross-legged for a while.
The traffic jam will not vanish into thin air with these ideas, but it could become a little more bearable. As a driver, however, you should never distract yourself too much, but always remain vigilant and reactive. It is also advisable to keep the belt on, after all, you never know whether it might go on at any moment. Security is the be-all and end-all, even when things are not moving forward.
