I drive approximately 60 miles a day on our expressways and tollways. In the course of my travels, I have made a list of things that I think can make our daily commutes just a tad nicer, and possibly even quicker:

If there is an accident by the side of the road, don’t slow way down in order to see it. If someone really has a fetish for a smashed bumper, he or she should go to a junkyard.

The next lane seems to be going faster, but if drivers stay put, it will all even itself out.

If drivers know that a tollbooth is coming up, and they don’t have I-PASS, they should feel free to make their way into the change-taking lanes before the last second. And, come to think about it, why haven’t all daily commuters gotten I-PASS? They know that every time they are 15-deep in line to feed the bucket, they curse all the drivers continuing by on the left. If they’d make the switch, they could laugh and wave as they fly by.
