traffic jams
Timing: If possible, adjust schedule to avoid heavy rush hours. Arrive at work an hour before and leave accordingly.
Radio: Turn on the station that reports on live traffic updates so you can adjust your route if necessary.
Alternatives: Often traffic jams evolve while you're driving, hence it's good to know alternative routes
Public transportation: Not perfect, but public transportation can not only save your money and time. In addition, you can read a book or a newspaper while taking the bus.
Bicycles and motorbikes: You can also simply choose to use a bicycle, motorbike or a scooter instead of a car, especially if you're mostly traveling alone.
