Bad traffic has wide reaching health implications including nighttime domestic abuse

From the NYTimes:

Brutal commute toll: to save 1 minute of time spent in traffic, people would trade away 5 minutes of any other leisure activity

Extreme evening traffic on highways (double the usual time) increased the incidence of nighttime domestic violence by 9%

How do deal with this: “Throughout life, mindfulness, healthy eating, sleeping and exercise, and hobbies that blow of steam all help”, according to Rebecca Mooney.
