Question

What to do if you're stuck in traffic?

Answer 1

I used to drive a double decker bus and got stuck in traffic every sodding morning and then I`d get to the bus-stops and all the people would get nasty because I was late!!   !!  Just work nights - no traffic around!

Answer 2

I don't notice traffic jams I am always asleep when I travel any distance that's the beauty of public transport.  Where I live everything is within walking distance and I find it hilariously funny when people will sit in a traffic jam for longer than it would take me to walk the same distance.

Answer 3

Have a micro nap to waste some time, they also work well on long journeys when your bored of driving, just make sure you are not speeding and there are not too many other cars on the road when you have them or it could be very dangerous !

Sing along to the radio!

Books on tape/CD ... get hooked up with your local library so you can request all of the stuff you like.

Answer 11

I don't drive, but when I took bus/taxi and if bus or train get in traffic, I get very frustrated, uncomfortable.

When I was stuck on train traffic on Flushing Line (7) in NYC due to stall train in Manhattan, I read the book.

Same when I was stuck on awful traffic on New Jersey Turnpike-Lincoln Tunnel traffic on Rockland Coach #20 bus.

Another time when we were heading to Buddhist USA Associate Temple for funeral in Carmel, NY with japanese friend and we were on their cars and we were stuck on awful traffic on Throgs Neck Bridge.

Another time when I was student at Simon Baruch Junior High School in NYC, and around 6pm, after visiting library on East 23rd St, I decided to take M15 Limited Uptown.

However that time, I did not know it was United Nation Assembly and president was coming that time.

We were stuck on 28-30th Sts are for more than 2 hours.

Answer 14

I lock my door, listen to music and look around me for something of nature, even if it's the monkey in the next car.

Answer 15

Fume usually,but quietly because there is no point in losing your cool.

Answer 16

Wait......................

Answer 17

beep the horn and annoy everyone

blare the music with the windows down

wear sunnies while its raining

Answer 18

I don't get angry, there is no point, it doesn't help anything!

Usually, I'll either get a book out of the glove box ( I carry around a magasine + book in case I get stuck in long traffic jams as I travel on motorways a lot )

I'll play the vengaboys mega-mix album and sing my heart out - much to the annoyance of others!

Sometimes I will call a friend, but I don't often do that. Others tend to though.

Or, I will just simply lean my head against the window, elbow on the ledge, and rest!

Answer 19

I don't get stuck in traffic. I just laugh and wave as I go by on my bike.

Answer 25

Isn't it curious to see all the different behaviors we indulge in for the same situation - stuck in traffic??...And not one mentions a solution to the problem...The road I am on is not usually the only road available to get to my destination...This is where a little planning forethought comes in...I look at possible alternate routes and I always give myself plenty of time to get there...And I have to force myself to pay attention to what's in front of me - it is hard to do sometimes especially if I am tired or not feeling 100%...Suddenly, I break out of the logjam and I have to be thinking of travel at 40 to 70 mph - a whole lot different of stop n slow at 0-5 mph...It takes discipline because if I am not in control of me, there is no way I can control my vehicle.
