    Having lived here most of my life and dealing with some of the traffic, yeah it probably is a challenge. Our drives are boring.

    I try to avoid heavy traffic times so I can avoid reckless assholes. I’ve got a spotless record, and don’t use my phone when driving other than navigation, but have nearly been driven off the road or side swiped several times. Scary shit man.

    But then I went to Indiana, by way of Chicago, and fuck was that terrifying. People weaving in and out of traffic with a cruise speed hovering around 80… So while our traffic is bad for rural, it’s not actually that bad. :)
