But that is certainly not the only cause of congestion, and driving aggressively in congestion and attempting to justify it by keeping the roads clearer doesn't hold a lot of water I don't think. But I see you're saying you're not advocating unsafe driving so that's good, and I take your greater point, thanks for expounding on it.
