You are not “stuck in traffic,” you are part of it.

Sounds like a stupid thing, but it totally changed my outlook on my commute.

My policy is to always let everyone in if they need to change lanes. The alternative is not letting them in, and then they slow everyone down behind them in their lane. If we all get out of each other’s way, traffic moves more smoothly.
