This avoids problems. Problem people "Fight traffic." What do you stand to "win" by fighting traffic? A few seconds. Not only do they uselessly elevate their own stress level, they bother the mellow people and cause crashes. To “Beat traffic” is to leave earlier, later or choose an alternate route.

After an intervention he was a changed duck - he even stopped and tipped his fedora to people crossing the street! All things were possible when I was a kid - we also believed we would have a four-day work week because techno-marvels would free workers for more leisure time. NOT!
