    Interesting, and definitely sensible, but I read about a month ago something about how a few impatient drivers that weave through traffic actually also provide a lubricating effect, by getting out of tight spots before they can jam up.

I've come to the point where I have multiple freeway routes prepared so that I can avoid the nonsense as much as possible now.

    I've been doing this ever since I first read about it and it really does work a charm. Plus, you get to relax and not stress out because of constant speed changes and pedal work.

    Unfortunately, most people will never understand the concept that you can get somewhere faster by NOT giving your car as much gas as possible.
