What Does This Mean?
A self-mocking Chinese holiday meme about drivers who each think they are clever for leaving early to avoid the National Day traffic, only to find the expressways already jammed with everyone else who had the same idea. It is used for any plan that fails because everyone adopts it at once.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"Stuck on the expressway the night before the holiday, he sighed, "车车车聪明人车车车.""
LORE & ORIGIN
A Sina page dated 2026-10-02 describes it as a viral meme of the 2026 National Day holiday: expressways turned red early on 30 September as drivers left ahead of the rush, and the phrase spread across platforms with the sense that cleverness backfired. The exact first post is not documented.
