Default My rear view mirror in a traffic jam

--------------------

Got caught up in a traffic congestion on the highway and playing with my gear to kill the time and the annoyance.

Drax, thats pretty cool.
Just wondering, is this a rear-view or side-view? In Germany you guys drive on the left side of the street?

Thank you guys!

It was really fun to use my camera during this time. I got so many details and i got very imaginative while going 0-5 km/h.

@ newPerspective. Sorry, i should have written side-view. And here in Germany, our highways do have three to four driving lanes. The 1st left lane is for fast drivers (Thanks to big engines cars) but the normal circulation is done on the right side or (lane).
