Item #: SCP-AAA

Object Class: Safe Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: Due its public location and non-lethal effects, SCP-AAA is not to be secluded or given special status. Standard SCP foundation taps have been installed in the national traffic CCTV systems and emergency services communications systems for monitoring purposes.

Description: SCP-AAA is a 13.5 kilometre stretch of the Rijksweg ██ of the Dutch national highway system connecting the cities of Amsterdam and Almere. SCP-AAA’s effects is localised between Knooppunt █████████ and exit number 5. SCP-AAA’s effects are present equally on both west-bound and east-bound lanes.

Any driver engaging in careless, reckless or aggressive driving behaviour will suffer acute and painful, but non-lethal effects of a random and varying nature. Hereafter follows a synopsis of symptoms cross-referenced with (possible) trigger behaviour.

The following symptoms have been recorded in order of severity:
• Subconjunctival hemorrhaging (bloodshot eyes)
• Epistaxis (nosebleeds)
• Headaches
• Mild to excruciating muscle cramps
• Primary otalgia (earpains)
• Migraines
• Complete physical failure of either right or left side of the body.

All symptoms appear to be temporary and are relieved shortly after the driver ceases the triggering behaviour. Afterwards, no physical traces of any pain causing tissue damage or deformation, permanent or transient, could be found, except for heightened levels of cortisol and epinephrine (stress hormones) and adrenaline, consistent with experiencing a (perceived) dangerous situation.

Triggering events for these symptoms have been recorded as:
• Tailgating
• Unnecessary driving on the left lane(s)
• Failing to use indicator lights
• Rubbernecking
• Overtaking on the right (illegal in the Netherlands)
• Speeding
• Flashing of headlights and/or honking in order to overtake a slower car
• No wearing a seatbelt

Symptoms are dramatically aggravated when combined.
