It's been five days already. Five days of nerve-wrecking kilometric lines, five days of listening through a whole CD on my way to work, five days of pure madness. Every day I face a line of hundreds of cars waiting in line to exchange their old license plates. Add to it idiotic traffic policemen all waving me at a random direction. Disaster. And it's all for nothing. The EU won't be impressed with a license plate change done nine months before the deadline. Not when we have criminals roaming the streets and corrupt officials. So the point of gathering insignificant little pluses is beyond my comprehension. Especially when it's done at the expense of the taxpayers' nerves. A day or two would have been bearable but the prospect of two more months of this madness is really killing me. The extension politicians accepted Friday won't help too much either, especially if cars flock with the same intensity, as the PM suggests. The point is that they underestimated their own preparedness and forgot about our last-minute rule, thus turning a positive into a disaster. Again.
