I had to join the morning traffic jam the other day on the way up to work in Dublin. It takes me about an hour or so and to be honest I'm actually starting to enjoy it.I lash on a good cd usually ,just in case I happen to stumble onto the colin and jim jim or whatever their called breakfast, wreck my head show,stress levels will get enough of a boost on the road up without them.Like I said it takes me about an hour and that is just sauntering along.I timed myself going flat out one day just to see ,bobbing and weaving,accelerating hard braking harder and I think i made it in about 6 minutes quicker and burned up and extra ten euro in petrol.So now I sit back in a state of tranquil relaxation and potter along enjoying the freak show of cars absolutely killing themselves to get ahead of the bus, tractor or van. You can actually feel the stress emanating from a car thats caught behind a truck and you will eventually see the driver pull out all the stops and throw caution to the wind with a death defying manouver and just scrape in ahead of it.To do what folks?Thats it sit in traffic just ahead of the truck.I've actually met the same cars that raged passed me earlier on at the round about in Dublin where I turn off the main road and I cant help the giggle when they see the van they passed about an hour ago and them with an extra few white streaks in the hair from a couple of near death experiences.So my tip for a longer stress free life in traffic jams is Potter along you'll feel much better for it.
