I live in Newark, Delaware, USA and generally work in an office approximately 12 miles away (~19km) in Wilmington, Delaware, USA. I usually drive a car to and from work during rush hour which either requires using Interstate 95 or, when there's an accident, a series of smaller local highways. Travel time varies wildly from day-to-day, but in general the morning commute takes approximately 20 minutes while the evening commute takes about 30-45 minutes. The layout of the roads, design of on-ramps and off-ramps, and very common merging and unmerging of major high-speed freeways and slower highways with traffic lights, sometimes with multiple others happening within just a few hundred yards, causes a lot of poor driving habits to build up. Drivers in the state are very greedy about their position "in line" and will tailgate aggressively to prevent traffic from merging more gracefully. It infuriates drivers behind me that i always leave an adequate amount of space between my car and the one ahead of me, especially if an on-ramp is coming up to merge. The radio calls these "volume delays" but they are more accurately called "asshole delays."
