The traffic was super slow on the main road

Someone was driving veeeeery carefully on the main road and managed to accumulate quite a parade of vehicles behind him.

I knew there was a secondary road that runs in parallel to the main one, so I took the scenic route and followed it.

Later I joined back the main road and arrived to my destination. I was then observing the cars that used to be far ahead of me. It took them like 2 minutes to pass me.
