Monday 8:15AM:

You try your best to get through the dreaded first morning of the week, tuning in to XFM to get the latest traffic updates, as you strategically scan every next turn, exit or roundabout, carefully dodging double parked trucks, delivery vans and cranes, you zoom through the first bottlenecks unscathed, but as you take your last left turn to Regional road, disaster strikes; a 3km bumper to bumper parking lot, complete with TM officials directing the onslaught. This is the tragic life of the Maltese commuter.
