Totally affects my driving and the ways I take to get from point A to point B. I used to not mind driving on the highway thru town...now I only use surface streets and if you've ever driven in Vegas you know what a nightmare that is. I think I could probably use the highway driving across the country as I did years ago....but I still hate the interchanges...they scare me to death!!!

Traffic jams make me claustrophobic (and I'm not usually) and I have to concentrate on breathing and not ripping out my hair when I'm in them.

My friends all laugh that I have a 'square' and I refuse to drive out of it....the last time I did was to a funeral for a friends son...she has a square also, and totally appreciated what it took for me to get there.
