Ha caído la gota fría y con ella, el agarre en la carretera.

El viernes salí a cenar con un amiga, y al despedirnos pasé a echar gasolina antes de continuar, antes de llegar a la autopista me hicieron luces por detrás y un Peugeot con dos colegas me dijeron que iban a por neumaticos y luego a hacer carretera, no estoy pasando por los mejores días y me pareció buena idea distraerme un poco.

Llegué al parking que me habían dicho, había estado allí antes, cubierto pero lleno de vidrios y basura, sin conocer a nadie, aparqué el coche y pregunté si ibamos a subir a Begues.

Salimos y en la primera rotonda los pensamientos intrusivos hicieron de las suyas, ya subiendo me entró el calentón y el deslizante asfalto me permitió soltar el culo hasta que llegamos arriba.

En el tramo rápido empezó a llover con tantísima intensidad que nada tenía sentido y los semislicks me dieron miedo. Aunque no perdían grip me daban mala sensación y fui tanteando hasta que el tramo empezó a estar lleno de piedras, ríos, y barro por todos lados.

Acabamos en un parking con un asfalto tan granulado que daba miedo derrapar por si ibas a dejarte el coche, probé una y decidí no hacer mas, mi coche agarra demasiado y los aparcamientos son una pérdida de tiempo.

A la vuelta hubo un accidente en la autopista y decidí dar vuelta y volver por el Garraf, pero que tan mala idea! El viejo asfalto de las costas, liso por la cantidad de tráfico diarios no tenía ningún tipo de agarre y en cada curva se me iba de delante y detrás, en un punto al dar gas se fue tanto que no tenía sentido, aunque probando a hacer powerslides aqui y allá, aminoré la marcha hasta que al llegar a Castelldefels me alcanzó un coche por detrás, la primera vez que esto sucede en mi local.

Esa noche aprendí la diferencia entre distintos tipos de asfalto y conducir en diversidad de intensidades de lluvia, también que la gente es manipuladora.

Gracias Álvaro por el hardtop, agradecí llevarlo aunque en ocasiones el interior se convirtiera en una piscina.

Have you ever seen a traffic jam be born? It’s strange, isn’t it, that everyone has only ever driven into traffic jam, but has never been there as one is created. I’m not talking about the brutal accident kind, of course. Everyone’s seen Russian dashcam videos, everyone’s had a bit of Ford Explorer bounce off their hood and thought “damn, that could have been me if I looked up from my Samsung Galaxy 12 With Enhanced Dongview literally a millisecond too late.”

No, I’m talking about the ordinary kind of traffic jam that just forms from people driving at weird speeds and not being able to change lanes. My old university professor was obsessed with the concept. His area of interest was “queuing theory,” a once-obscure field of mathematics that I thought was only of interest to those countries that still could form orderly lines for things. I was very wrong, he said, and invited me to his home that afternoon to see queuing theory in action.

The Japanese were the first to really figure out the applications for traffic. You see, they took these random people and made them drive their cars around an endless loop, with no on- or off-ramps, for an hour, all going the same speed in a single lane. It didn’t take even fifteen minutes before they had a traffic jam. That’s all it took. Why is this? Because people need extra time to stop and extra time to start when they’re in stop-and-go. From this, the Japanese police decided that they could solve traffic jams just by driving very slowly, because “slowly” is still moving. That gave the “clog” of stop-starts a chance to dissipate naturally without more assholes slamming into the pile and then jamming on their brakes at the last second.

I was sort of aware of this concept, which is why I always endeavoured to hit off-ramps with as much of the throttle as I possibly could, semislicks wailing as the Volare chewed up decrepit city infrastructure in an attempt to honourably clear the lane as quickly as possible. Well, that and my general attitude towards treating the city like my own personal racetrack.

My professor pointed out the giant picture window of his home, overlooking an on- and off-ramp to the highway overpass. It had been badly designed in the 1970s, and couldn’t deal with the demands of an overcrowded city. There, I witnessed it: the birth of a traffic jam. Some asshole in a Suzuki Aerio wandered across four lanes from the left lane, drove over the solid whites, and caused like sixty fucking people to brake. From then on, it was like a piranha feeding frenzy, with more and more cars flowing in, like white water rapids. I was hooked, but not for the reasons my professor invited me up there.

There was a sort of pulse to the traffic, like a heartbeat, or the rhythm of sap pumping through a tree. I could feel it, even though no one else could. Intrigued, I began experimenting, trying to find and exploit the natural rhythm of the traffic jam. I found that with perfectly-timed lane changes, I could flow without stopping through any gridlock. Soon, I did not even see the traffic anymore, just a quivering mass of obstacles that I could hover through in slow-motion like a vengeful ghost. Sometimes I didn’t even breathe until I was out, which only heightened the sense of a spiritual experience bonding with traffic.

That’s when I met him. One morning, as I shook my way perfectly through downtown traffic, I was cut off by some other asshole, who was stealing my playbook. He looked back at me, and I realized he was a grizzled old cabbie, trained in the monastery up on top of the nearby mountain.

“You got promise, kid,” he shouted through the window of his car, traffic flowing around him as between the two of us we were blocking three lanes. “Now let me teach you about how to use your four-ways to park anywhere you want.”
