@gemlog @MutoShack James May of Top Gear fame did an experiment in "driving like a Good Christian" to work, vs. driving normally. He found that with the halo on, he got to work earlier. Sort of reminiscent of Jackie Stewart winning races by going the slowest.
Where cities are expanding, however, traffic is miserable. What was a 15 minute jaunt is now an hour of reading bumperstickers, constant construction and roadwork -- it's like Facebag: a situation contrived to see people at their worst.
