Traffic jams are a common sight, especially during festive seasons or when Malaysians are heading back to their hometowns.
But, amidst the frustration of being stuck in traffic, one videographer found a creative way to pass the time.

Natasya Alias, also known as @nataresygrph on TikTok, recently shared a video of her journey with her partner to Meru, Ipoh for a wedding shoot. Unfortunately, their plans hit a snag when they got caught in a traffic jam due to an accident on the highway.
As cars came to a halt, drivers took the opportunity to stretch their legs and chat. However, Natasya and her partner, both photographers and videographers, decided to take a different approach by using a drone to capture footage of the scene.
With calming music playing in the background, the drone flew over the congested highway, giving a view of the beautiful landscape and the long line of cars stuck in the jam.
Natasya mentioned that the accident was quite far ahead, giving them time to launch the drone and see what was causing the delay.
The video, which received over 260,000 likes and 3.2 million views, brought some light-heartedness to the situation. While the accident was serious, many viewers found humor in how Natasya and her partner turned the traffic jam into something visually appealing, a situation that many Malaysians can relate to.
As one commenter joked, "Highway jam but make it aesthetic."
It looks pretty cool!
