Driving Miss Mazzy Part 4

Every night when I see the terrible traffic hold-ups for workers on their way home from a busy day at work, I wonder how they can stay sane. Many hours tacked onto your normal work day, in travel, decreases time spent with your family, relaxation etc., and surely must be very tiring and stressful.
Then if there is a hold up caused by an accident, which seems to be quite often, more time is spent held up in traffic.

If you are able to travel by bus or train, at least you can read, study etc., that is if you can obtain a seat!

My biggest worry for my 10 minute drive to work is getting behind a car travelling at 60 kph or less in a 80 kph zone, and that is on a quiet country road, not in bumper to bumper traffic.

Some people opt to live in a nice area and are prepared to drive 1/2 hour or an hour to their job.
Some have no choice as their job placement dictates where they live or how far they have to travel.

What is your mode of transport to work and how stressful is it?
