It's just hard to feel bad for ya when I live in the DC/MD/VA area. one of the higher ranked traffic areas in north America, thankfully not as bad as CA or Toronto, but bad enough to make 3rd on the list of worst traffic by rated by forbes
1. Los Angeles, Long Beach, Santa Ana, Calif.
2. San Francisco, Oakland, Calif.
3. Washington, D.C.
4. Atlanta
5. Houston

7. Chicago.

9. Riverside, San Bernardino, Calif.

Thankfully I only worked over the VA boarder for a little while many years ago. my avg drive into and back from work was 2 hours each way. one day I left late and hit zero traffic, I made it in 45 minutes. That is with ZERO crashes, factor in a crash and you could have a 5-10 mile backup. making your 2 hour trip into..... yeah NVA traffic sucks monkey balls.
