they break the rules => they do not follow the rules => they don't abide by the rules. => they
don't obey the rules.

frequently.
Car accidents can lead to traffic jams on the roads. and in Iran, when an accident happens,
other drivers usually rubberneck. It causes them to drive more slowly and it can cause more
traffic.
An inadequate roadway capacity and an insufficient number or roads can also result in
heavy traffic.

the amount of time which are wasted in traffic is crazy. => time which is wasted
problem => pollution => air and noise
Traffic can "negatively" affect on your mind. => remove (on)
in many metropolises, traffic is heavy (=it is murder and terrible) , because of the frequent
acceleration and braking , and also because of the wasted fuels , the amount of air pollution
increases. => This can adversely affect our health.
due to the tight space among cars, drivers are likely to get stressed and frustrated.
3. How can we "solve" the problems of traffic?
private drivers should pay tax.
I was on the way to home. => remove (to)
there is no magic bullet to solve the problem of traffic.

suffice. (=would be enough)
suffice = to be enough
solutions => Congestion pricing / telecommute / to share the car = to carpool / change
