True, rush hour is bad and there's idiots cutting you off all the time. I try to keep my morning commute at around 7 a.m., and my afternoon commute no later than 4:00 so traffic is still not too horrible.
Obviously I am way more careful and keep my distance from cars ahead and keep tapping my breaks to warn people behind me. This morning I had a few cars pass me as I wasn't going fast enough for them (although I was about 5 mph over the speed limit), and I honestly don't care. They can pass me as much as they want. I'd rather keep myself out of trouble!
