When I am in heavy commuter traffic...I just take a deep breath and resolve myself to go with the flow, and take what comes. I quite often maintain one steady slow pace..even letting the lane jumpers hop in and out in front of me...like that is some crafty genius maneuver. When I see the flow speed up...I grab gears...but I always maintain reserve of emotions...because I know from experience...you can do this the easy way...or you can do this the hard way.

If you think that fighting a senseless war in Iraq is so great, Why are you here and not over there?
Because a Few of us on this Forum were and your your Little back slap is not really appreciated by us.

Well, getting back to the discussion of rush hour, I'd plan my trips so that I could avoid the traffic jams. Driving at night helped a lot. Usually, I'd be out of the big cities before the traffic became too congested.
For me, traffic jams are a bummer. You are at the mercy of every idiot out there!! So, why screw with it!! If I couldn't make it through a congested city before rush hour, I'd just shut down, maybe grab a shower and a meal, take a nap, and wait till the traffic died down. Then, I was back on my merry way!! 8)

For me
I actually don't get bothered by it anymore. Of course I get paid by the hour now. It's actually quite amusing to watch how other people act while dealing with traffic. I have to admit when I used to get paid by the mile I would get pretty irate. That's why I went to being paid by the hour. Nowadays it's the only way to go, because you can't go anywhere without getting tied up in some kind of traffic jamb, and it's only gonna get worse.
