Afternoon rush hour

how do you survive it? i'v had the privilege of working close to home but i was transfer'd to another site which is 20miles away from where i live.

i'v recently had a minor fender bender which i was blamed for because the other driver had the right to fuck up how ever he wanted now i'm to scared to even drive because of all the stupid people i have to share the road with.

going to work is easy coming back home is the hard part. i always see other drivers getting to damn close to me or random drivers who like to brake check people.

Drive a piece of shit beater off craigslist. I've got an old flat black SUV that just looks like it doesn't give a fuck, people quickly get out of the way when its on their ass and I don't have to give a damn about body damage.

Just enjoy the ride, I fucking hate it especially on i-25 but it isn't a big deal, we're all stuck just be chill...

>how do you survive it?
I time shift. If there are things that take time after I wake up such as eating, I move those to be AFTER my arrival at work. If I eat at home and then drive, I am into the heavier part of rush hour traffic. Time shifting tasks means my sleep time remains undisturbed. As for getting home sooner, I finally found a vanpool opening. So I drive my car to the rendezvous point convenient for the vanpool and board the van. The vanpool of course drops off and I get home. Nice. The vanpool gets to use the fast HOV or priority lanes.

Because I am not the driver, I am also able to use the cellphone on the way. One of my favorite sports is to video record any lane violators in front or following my vanpool. I call those violators in and make those videos available to the DOT as an aid for prosecution. There are always violators. By having them pay nice fines, they help pay for the road repairs. So it's all good.

PICTURE: From Community on Preventable Injuries Project, one street in canada had a lot of speeders. So a guerilla safety project put a decal on the street to see if it caused drivers to slow down.

I was born in the traffic, molded by it. I didn't see the roads until I was already a man

Pretty much this. I listen to podcasts and try to keep calm. No need to stress over something you can't control.

This.

Third world nigger here. Best thing you can do at rush hour is just relax and listen to some music, there's NOTHING you can do. Stress will only mean higher fuel consumption and getting involved in inncessesary risks to attempt overtakes that, in the end, amount to nothing. Take it easy,

It's healthier for you but, more importantly, for your car.

Fuck traffic. Fuck cities. Just fuck everything about populated areas.

Anybody dumb enough to actually be fooled by this? I would maybe hesitate for a moment just because it's some weird shit on the ground in the road but no way in hell would anybody be like "Uh oh we need to stop so sally can get her ball"

simply not how the human eye works

Really? Last time i ran into one of those i turned my car off and tried to talk her into playing somewhere safer for damn near half an hour. Not you though. You have plenty smarts.

>Anybody dumb enough to actually be fooled by this?
There are probably some people that would simply keep on moving without slowing down under the assumption (not 100% certain) that what they saw wasn't real.

>see sign that says "drive like your kids live here"
>immediately slow down

I know there is nothing I can do, so I stay in my lane, turn on a podcast or audio book, and relax on the hour and half 10 mile drive.

Back in the day I used ask to get to work an hour later (avoiding morning traffic) and would leave an hour later (getting less, but not no, afternoon traffic). Or get in earlier, leave earlier. Just talk to your boss.

Forgot to mention, now that you have to deal with this, you see why adults on Veeky Forums choose to buy automatics for their DD cars then manual for their toy cars, and poorfags with no real job think everything should be a raze carrrr

>see sign that says "drive like your kids live here"
>do a burn out

>send out text announcing my delay
>put on new tribe called quest album
>crank seat warming up
>have a smoke
>crack open windows
>welcome the cool night air
>fully living in the here and now
>watching the headlights on the highway

My best decision was joining my works gym so I leave work at 6 30 instead of 5 30. Post work out puts me in a good mood anyway.

Morning traffic was never that bad.

I do not have to cope with it at all. I work just a little bit earlier than most. 7am to 2:15 pm and live very close to my workplace about 3.5 miles.

>gud tunes on
>cold beverage if it's very hot out
>comfy it out

Starting a new job next week which is literally on the other side of the town. Usually it takes 20 mins to get there but commute I estimate is around 1+ hours.

Guess it's time to listen to all of initial d ost

That album is god teir

>living somewhere of having a job that subjects you to rush hour
Sucks to suck. I have a pleasant drive through the mountains on the way to work and a pleasant drive through the mountains under moonlight on the way home.

These

Its called embracing the suck my friend.

I drive a motorbike. So in your pick I see six empty lanes per direction, and thus there is no jam I have to worry about.
Just use pipes loud enough to be heard before passing to avoid being killed.

>with work van
Put in the right lane and just listen to the radio. I don't give a single fuck, getting paid by the hour from the moment I leave my house until I'm home and overtime pays well

>personal vehicle
I only have a bike, so I just lane split. And rev bomb the shits who are on their phone.

>cagers get SO ANGRY at me lane splitting in rush hour that they sometimes open their doors or swerve to the left/right to try and hit me

>hit car door with my glorious German steel horse
>get some minor cosmetic damage
>claim all damages at their insurance because dangerous driving
>sue them for attempt of murder
>finally money to fix up bike

I'm always scared of you bikefags, especially during rush hour. It's fine if they're going at a reasonable speed, but sometimes they just fly by. I don't want to be around if they get pancaked

As a biker I must say that they are fucking morons and should be banned from riding. They are also a danger for me and I don't want to be a pancake because of their actions.
