As long as I stay off of the Interstate and away from the theme park areas.....I rarely run into too much traffic. I take back road in neighborhoods.

Ain't that the truth. Coming back from NC in In on 64 they had the interstate down to 1 lane each side, and every trucker within a 3 mile radius was jaw jacking about anything and everything, but the #1 question asked was "what's with all this traffic/how far is she backed up"?

I'm not a truck driver but having that radio in the car helped me make a decision that helped us bypass the traffic jam.

I stay off the roads during rush hour. Every once in a while DH & I go to this one Sports Bar to eat pizza, have a few beers, and "catch up". We'll watch all the headlights go by, and when they thin down, then we usually head back home. A fun way to avoid rush our!
