I wait patiently because saying choice words and getting mad don't get you going any faster.

Being that I am on the road all the time I hate traffic. Especially since most of the time there are no accidents or anything. I can understand it when there is an accident except when it is on the side of the road and everyone is just looking/rubbernecking then I have a few choice words that I don't believe I can type on here.

Isn't it wonderful when the light goes on inside and we see things in a better way?+

Great..Patience never goes unrewarded. Sometimes going slow prevents accidents and the faster you are going when hit the more surely you are capable of totalling your car.

It depends, if I am alone I use the "choice words". If I have ppl in the car with me then I bite my tongue and wait. We moved from NY, so where I am at now there isn't as much traffic and I love it!!!!

hmm if i m drivin and stuck in traffic i usually find sum subject to think about or if i cant , i lissen to some music or some radio channel .If i m not drivin i jus get too restless cos gettin stuck in traffic is so boorin when u re not drivin....and then i have a few choice words for all those drvers that are flipping their fingers/tongues .........cos if ppl they are shoutin at really dint drive well and shouldnt be on the roads .....then they themselves shouldnt be driving either cos they are not mentally fit to drive:)

For most times I am pretty good with traffic. I know that feeling tensed does me no good.. so I am cool in stop-and-go traffic.. I listen to music... look at people in the cars nearby.. if I am with others in the car, we talk. If I am on the way to an appointment, I call in to say that I am going to be late as I am stuck in traffic. The only time I have some reaction is when someone tries to show gestures because they are frustrated or in an attempt to cut me off.. The first reaction is one of surprised anger. But I cool off pretty soon and life goes on :)

Why would you look for the police if there is traffic? Are you saying that you wil make a u-turn or something?

I am defintely one of those people with a few choice words. If you are stupid enough to cause traffic you shouldn't be driving. the people that really drive me crazy are those people who cut out in front of you then slow down. It drives me crazy. and when I feel like being nice and letting someone out that doesnt mean the four people behind them can go too. people that cause traffic should lose their license. especially if it because they are slowing down to see what is going on when someone is pulled over by the cops.

Some people can't help themselves..I remember getting a little frustrated with a car in front of me.and turns out this person was stopped because the person in front of them was stopped and that person stopped because there was a Redlight.

I agree.. I usually put on "joyfm" which is a gospel station..usually you will keep your thoughts charitable when listening to the gospel music;)+
