I hate Utah Traffic!!!

This is what I get to stare at for two hours every day, an hour to work and an hour home from work. Seriously, who wants to stare at the back of a Mitsubishi Mirage and a semi-truck? I don't!!! I mean sometimes it's a Toyota Corolla or a Honda Accord, but still, nothing I care about.
And it's not like they have anywhere to go, the traffic is stopped for miles.Then there are the lovely exits and on-ramps...see all the cars trying to get on the freeway? I never understood why exit and on-ramps always get so backed up...what is so hard about getting on and off the freeway, seriously people!!!Not only is this lovely traffic responsible for my car being in the shop for 3 weeks due to some idiot ramming into the back of my stopped car, but it is also the cause of hundreds of accidents every year. I think I see an average of 2 car wrecks per day involving anywhere from 2 to 8 cars per accident...It's ridiculous. If there were back roads from Cedar Hills to Salt Lake that didn't double my drive time, I would most definitely take them.
Even when you think traffic is starting to let up and you start to accelerate...5 mi/hr...10 mi/hr...25mi/hr....BAM!!!!...all you see ye break lights screaming in your face as you slam your breaks to stop. I guess that is why they call it STOP and GO traffic.

You should buy the commuter pass like Ash. We'll see if it worth it when it comes in the mail. If it does I'll gladly pay $50 a month for an hour and a half more with him everyday.
