It is clogged with traffic; in some areas almost twenty-four hours a day.

Can you imagine what might happen to an inexperienced driver trying to find their way in this maze in bad weather? This is a story of one such hapless individual, caught in such a dilemma and all the resulting adventures. Absolutely incredible! Breath-taking! Yes indeed, truly---Amazing
