Does an intense commute effect job performance?

Question

If your daily commute is full of bad drivers, traffic jams, detours, accidents, police, road crews, and potholes, does this make you into a nervous wreck by the time you reach the office?

Answer 1

I would say yes, for most people.  It depends on the individual.

Answer 2

I would think so. Not sure about the nervous wreck part, but the stress surely can't be good for anything.

Answer 3

it affects me for about 5 minutes, i swear and moan about grannies/ milk floats/tractors etc out in rush hour traffic or sheep on the road, and then im fine xx

Answer 4

If you let it. The smart driver doesn't let it, though.
