Follow up to "The Commute"

I have learned a little more about commuting.

1.  Driving north on Hazel.  The left lane goes faster, but if you are going to stop, get in the right lane quickly because there are less people.  You can pass a bunch of those people who are on the left!

2.  Again, driving north on Hazel.  As you approach Madison, always get in the right lane.  That extra right lane opens up and you can always pass about 20 cars because no one remembers that you get that short area where there are 3 lanes.  It is a glorious feeling!

3.  Coming home, south on Hazel.  There are no tricks.  No matter what you do, you will get stuck in a slow lane.  Live with it.  Turn on the music.  Call someone on the phone so you don't have to think about it.  Do whatever it takes to take your mind off the irritating drivers in the afternoon.

4.  Sunrise in the morning.  I go the opposite of the bad traffic, so it isn't as bad as for me as it is for the rest of the world.  This this the road that it always helps to weave in an out of traffic.  You can always get ahead because no one really drives the same speed.

5.  Sunrise on the way home.  There is one bad spot coming South.  About 1/2 mile south of Madison, get in the right lane.  You wouldn't think this is wise, but just as you hit that Taco Bell at Winding Way, you are going to be at a dead stop, and the only lane that moves is, you guessed it....the right hand lane.

I got this down folks!  Oh, and one last thing.  It DOES NOT MATTER how you drive, it will take you exactly the same amount of time everyday to get where you are going.   You cannot shave off even 30 seconds of your commute by weaving, getting in the correct lane, or beating the traffic "gods."
