Despite the historical aspects of this shot, this scene from Weekend shows the frustrating sides of a road trip. I only want you to watch the first minute and a half because this clip gets annoying quickly.
Alright, you get on the road and begin your adventure. You drive about an hour or so and hit traffic. Your trip is delayed by an uncontrollable entity that forces you to submit to its monotony. Although I feel a road is fun and enjoyable, I further believe that we cannot control every aspect of the "great" road. The road itself is chaotic, frustrating, and at times unrelenting (hint unexpected car accidents). You might say that other people are at fault and the road is just the medium where people are the culprits to your setback. Whether its the road, or other people, road trips are unpredictable.
To an extent, your journey is not in your hands. You have to take whatever the road gives you. The best thing about that is the traveler can either give up or overcome the obstacles. This decision is in your hands and when you decide to persevere that is when the traveler becomes stronger and wiser. Road trips are tests. You create the testament. What will you do when you run into "traffic"? Are you going to develop "road rage" by cursing and blaming others, or figure out another way to get through your situation?
