Chris,
I think you could safely drive down the freeway as long as you didn't engage anyone unless its safe eye candy.
Don't look at them, don't move your lips when they cut you off, just yield to these idiots because at the end of the day you are able to go home and they will still be an idiot.
If you drive alot, and you do Chris, make sure you don't have Road Rage when you get on the road. Think about it, just consider it to be part of the job and your performance is being evaluated by your wife and kids.
We have the same problem here in Dallas. Heck Dallas is the murder capitol in the US.
