traffic!!

I am realizing with my new position that traffic is a nightmare! I get that sometimes things get congested...especially when everyone is heading home around the same time. One has to allow that extra time to ensure everything goes smoothly and with as little stress as possible. Why is it that some people deem their commute more important? Why is it that they get to drive ahead of everyone else when they know the lane is merging and everyone has to get over? They don't merge along the way one at a time, instead they push it all the way up to the end and everyone has to slam on their brakes, causing even more delays...making the people who did wait in line have to push up extremely close to the person ahead of them in order to secure their spot in line, and potentially causing road rage and/or and accident. If they just took their turn it would go twice as fast for everyone. Sometimes, I would love to do that and get ahead also, but then that causes so much anxiety for everyone around that it is not worth it. Why the selfishness???? I just can't stand it! How about the people who drive slow in the passing lane...because they like that lane more than the others? IRRITATING as well! How about the people who cut you off in order to get where they want to go immediately...no blinker, just screw you attitude and here I come, so move! It is just shocking to me that it happens every day. I actually took out more insurance on my car! It is a matter of time until there is an accident, and it will be so frustrating since I haven't ever had one. (Not counting fender benders in high school I kept hidden from my parents. LOL) I would think putting a cop at each of the congested areas of traffic in the city would ensure better commuting and less accidents. Just a thought... I would just love to see people think of one another a little more in their commute, and the ones that don't...well they should have their car poutter out for the day and be forced to wait/walk. =) Wonder if THAT would even help? Hmmm...
