What would you rather do than wait in traffic?
(Mark Gail - The Washington Post)
Drivers in D.C. spend on average of 74 hours stuck in traffic each year — more than twice the national average and well ahead of infamously congested cities like Chicago and Los Angeles, according to a new study.
If you could get those three days and change back, what would you do with your time? Here are a few ideas:
— Run 16 marathons, at an average speed of about 5.7 mph.
— Make 148 batches of Seared Tuna with Sweet-Sour Onions.
— Once the final Harry Potter film is released on DVD, watch all eight films back-to-back three times and make it through the first six films a fourth time.
Granted, sitting in rush hour traffic may sound like more fun than racing 419 miles or eating 185 pounds of tuna.
So tell us: What would you rather do with those 74 hours? Here’s what some of you had to say:

They do it to themselves. They are traffic, not in traffic. RT @postlocal: DC drivers spend 74 hours a year in traffic: http://t.co/iQyEcoWj
