  • I was going to answer, "don't drive", but after seeing your picture, I guess the correct answer is, "peanut butter".

  • I was in a traffic jam on the motorway yesterday. Put my chair back, feet out the window and napped for 20 mins, minuet after I woke up we started moving

    • I was stuck in a traffic jam myself recently. The cause of it turned out to be a car that had crashed into a bus. The car was crushed like an accordion and there was damage to the bus, with various rescue vehicles surrounding the scene. My son asked me if anyone was killed in the accident. I told him I didn't know but it wouldn't be surprising if so. It definitely gave him a lesson on how dangerous driving can be.

  • Be patient and be courteous. (and good music helps)

    When the kid was in middle school it would take me 30-40 minutes just to drive 3 miles in the morning but I took it as an opportunity to teach my riders about music.

    Last week the uncle and I ran into a road work detail that forced 3 lanes into just one and I was letting people who were in front of me - in another lane, to get in my lane - which was the pass through lane.

    He was angry because I was letting people get in front of me but I told him the favor would be returned in another situation.

    A couple days later we ran into another jam and someone let me go much to his surprise.

    The other day someone with the same car as mine allowed me to jump in front of them and I know it was mostly because we had the same model car.
